I need some input... about to spend six months in the Russian tundra in a very remote location. I'm looking at some form of emergency medical / evac insurance; already have gear insurance lined up. Anyone have a favorite company? Good or bad experiences? Cheers, Jess Tue, 01 May 2012 10:33:06 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/evac-medical-insurance SOS and Global Rescue are the ones I've purchased plans/memberships on - if any one has actually ever been evacuated or received any kind of medical treatment from them, I'd be curious to hear about their experiences.

Will check out SOS. John Louis, I haven't heard of the AmEx program before... thanks for passing it on!

Never had to be Globally Rescued though so I don't know what actually happens when it hits the fan. Tue, 01 May 2012 10:33:06 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/evac-medical-insurance#175687
