We would recommend that a client has both travel insurance and Global Rescue.
What Global Rescue offers that others don't:
1. Immediate access 24/7 to critical care paramedics when you call Global Rescue, you will speak immediately to a critical care paramedic. These are the people that can triage your case and have the power to make decisions in the critical early minutes of an incident. You are able to call Global Rescue 24/7, no matter how minor the issue and get expert medical advice.
2. Johns Hopkins Medicine All medical cases are reviewed by our in-house physicians and for a serious incident, we have immediate access to the Division of Special Operations at Johns Hopkins Medicine. You will have some of the best specialists in the world reviewing your case and making sure that the best decisions are made.
3. Field Rescue Global Rescue commits to its members from the point of illness or injury. Our medical professionals are empowered and qualified to make an immediate decision as to whether an evacuation is required. Whether by helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft or by ground, we will commit to you from that point. There is no requirement to get yourself to a medical facility in order to be assessed to determine whether you warrant an evacuation. The trigger for an evacuation is that a member requires in-patient hospitalization. Global Rescue will evacuate to the member's home hospital of choice and provide up to $500,000 of services.
4. Deployable Personnel If a member is hospitalized overseas for more than short period of time we will deploy one of our paramedics to their bedside. They will act as a bedside advocate and liaise between local medical teams and our medical teams (including Johns Hopkins) to ensure that the correct decisions are being made.
5. Integrated response to both medical and security emergencies Our in-house security teams our comprised of military veterans, many of them US Special Forces. As with the paramedics on the medical side of things, our members can get advice during a security incident 24/7. These personnel will be deployed worldwide to support local assets during a security emergency. Examples of recent Global Rescue security operations include Haiti, Egypt,Japan and Sudan.
6. Track Record - When push comes to shove in a serious emergency we have proven our commitment to our members time and time again. It is not in the small print but I truly believe that our DNA is different from an insurance company. We don't look at every case through the eyes of a claims adjuster but rather medical professionals prepared to do what it takes to assist our members. Insurance may or may not protect your wallet during a serious incident but Global Rescue will protect your life.
Some important benefits that insurance offers that Global Rescue doesn't
1. Lost Baggage/Personnel Effects cover
2. Trip Cancellation Cover
3.
Cover for the costs of medical treatment this is important and is primarily why we always recommend members have an insurance policy to cover for this.
Global Rescue will provide up to $500,000 of evacuation services but we do not cover the costs of medical treatment.
