AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Belize Life Living in Belize Health Insurance?

Only in my dreams

We carry www.medjetassist.com air ambulance evacuation coverage. They have a flying ER setup and will take you to whichever hospital accommodation you choose. You'll have to get to the local airport that will accommodate their aircraft.

Does the airport in SP handle their aircraft?

As their name implies, they use custom fitted small jets. I don't know that the SP airstrip can carry small jets. Doubtful, I'd say, but I'm not sure.

Really not looking for stand alone Medivac insurance but rather health insurance that can be used in Belize, Mexico, USA. The high deductable, just in case kind of insurance.

Amedex is not medivac

Amedex has major medical insurance policies that have coverage for air-ambulance.

Amedex arranges the air ambulance for you and negotiates the rates etc. so you don't have to worry about it while you are in a crisis. The air ambulance is fully equipped and staffed with the appropriate critical care specialists.

San Pedro airstrip isn't suitable for jets. I've only ever seen 2 jets here. One was a Harrier Jump Jet - what a mess that was! The other was a gulf stream a couple of years ago. I think it was some kind of promo tour.

Most likely you would be transported via wings of hope to the international airport where the medivac aircraft would be waiting.

Do any of you have a policy with Amedex?
