Travel Medical & Evacuation from Haiti — FAQs

What does travel medical & evacuation insurance cover when traveling from Haiti?

Emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, medical evacuation (ground or air), transport to appropriate care facilities, and repatriation if local care is insufficient.

Why is evacuation especially important in Haiti?

Healthcare access can be limited, especially outside Port-au-Prince or rural zones. Natural disasters, infrastructure challenges, and political instability may complicate emergency healthcare, making evacuation coverage vital.

Are pre-existing medical conditions covered?

Usually only if specifically included in the policy or through a rider. Many policies exclude pre-existing conditions unless they cover “acute onset” or similar language.

What are common exclusions to watch for?

Non-urgent/elective care, adventure or high-risk activities, evacuations without insurer approval, political upheaval or war, untreated chronic illnesses, and elective treatments are often excluded.

What determines the premium cost?

Age, duration of travel or stay, medical benefit limits, evacuation coverage level, destination risk, availability of medical network, whether pre-existing conditions are accepted, and optional riders all factor into cost.

How does the evacuation process work?

You or your representative contact the insurer or global assistance provider, supply medical documentation and bills, proof of itinerary, get necessary authorizations, and follow insurer’s instructions to arrange transport.

Depends on policy. Some policies allow evacuation to major hospitals within Haiti; others transport internationally to higher-level facilities if needed and covered.
