A Global Rescue medical evacuation membership provides:
Enhance your membership with a security evacuation upgrade:
When a medical evacuation or transfer is required via private aircraft, Global Rescue utilizes only state-of-the-art, medically equipped, contracted aircraft and whenever possible, endeavors to use CAMTS (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems) certified service providers. If providers are not CAMTS certified, Global Rescue's Operations Team has conducted due diligence to ensure the aircraft and flight crews meet our exacting safety and quality standards. Our requirements are stringent - if it isn't good enough to transport our families, it isn't good enough to transport our members.
In certain instances, Global Rescue utilizes commercial aircraft to evacuate our members. Through our relationships with the major commercial airlines, Global Rescue is able to improve and extend its domestic and international services. Transport by commercial aircraft with a medical escort is often the best alternative for rapid departure and uninterrupted flights over long distances.
Global Rescue is authorized as an indirect air carrier to provide aeromedical transport services.
Global Rescue medical and security memberships enable our members to control their fate in an uncertain world. By providing world class medical and security response, advice and evacuation, help is only a phone call away.
Because healthcare in much of the world is either poor or nonexistent, Global Rescue provides the medical and security expertise combined with an ability to deploy our own professionals to the exact location of your emergency. We empower our members to decide where and when they want to be transported, giving them a higher likelihood of a positive outcome. When the emergency is far from civilization, Global Rescue can send field rescue teams to where our members need us most. When a natural disaster strikes or political turmoil escalates to civil unrest, members who have upgraded to Global Rescue's security membership can be immediately transported home safely.
If I'm traveling, will Global rescue fly me home on a private plane if I get sick?
If you require hospitalization and cannot be treated and released at a nearby facility, Global Rescue will transfer you to the home country hospital of your choice. Global Rescue will determine the mode of transport, taking into account member safety, treatment and comfort concerns. To provide the best possible services to members in need, we will only transport members who require hospitalization on an in-patient basis.
Will Global Rescue reimburse me for medical expenses or the cost of my vacation?
Global Rescue is not an insurance company and thus cannot reimburse members for either the cost of treatment arranged by the member or the member's trip costs. Global Rescue will arrange and pay for all consultative and transport services for our members, provided the member contacts Global Rescue and requests these services.
If I have signed up for Security Services, will Global Rescue evacuate me from an active war zone?
If the situation in a country deteriorates to the point where an official declaration is made or it is clear that the member will suffer imminent grievous bodily harm, Global Rescue will deploy and rescue the member, bringing them to the nearest safe location prior to evacuating them back to their home country.
Do I have to be an American citizen to join Global Rescue?
Global Rescue membership is available to anyone, regardless of their country of citizenship. We have thousands of foreign national members who enjoy the exact same benefits as U.S. citizens. The only difference is that Global Rescue will transport these members back to their choice of hospital in their home country, rather than the U.S. All prices quoted for memberships are listed in U.S. dollars (USD).
If I'm hospitalized and want to be transported to Johns Hopkins Medicine to receive treatment, will Global Rescue transfer me to a Johns Hopkins Medicine facility?
Global Rescue will transport our members to the domestic hospital of their choice, whether they choose Johns Hopkins Medicine or another healthcare facility. Global Rescue cannot guarantee that there will be space available to admit the member, however. We will do our best to accommodate our member's preferences and work with the receiving hospital to both gain admittance for our member and manage all of the logistics of the transfer.
Can Global Rescue send and receive data files, faxes, packages, etc?
Global Rescue is equipped to both send and receive information to and from our members in a variety of forms. Our operations center is equipped with state-of-the-art computer systems and sufficient bandwidth to send, receive and manipulate data intensive transmissions. Additionally, Global Rescue has relationships with worldwide couriers who can often provide physical delivery of critical documents and test results on a more rapid and geographically diverse basis than commercially available means such as FedEx. Shipping charges not related to a transfer or performed for our members' convenience will be the responsibility of the member. All transmissions regarding cases that result in a transfer are included in the price of membership.
