MedjetAssist is the premier emergency medical evacuation membership program for travelers. If a member is hospitalized more than 150 miles from home—virtually anywhere in the world—MedjetAssist reviews his or her condition, both with the attending medical staff and the member’s own physicians, and arranges medical transportation to the hospital of their choice. MedjetAssist has its corporate headquarters in Birmingham, Ala., and is the exclusive provider of worldwide air ambulance and medical repatriation services for AARP.
- MedjetAssist is on hand, in consultation with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, to communicate with attending physicians caring for members anywhere in the world (through translators, if necessary).
- If physically able to fly commercial, members always fly first class, accompanied by medical personnel; if commercial air travel is not medically tenable, members are evacuated by fully medically equipped private jet.
- Members hospitalized more than 150 miles from home choose the medical facility to which they wish to be airlifted.
- Annual membership fees start at $250 per individual and $385 per family (up to 7 members, including spouse, domestic partner and/or dependent children).
