MedjetAssist - Medical transport and travel planning service

Your alumni association has partnered with MedjetAssist, a world leader in medical evacuation.

Most Platinum card benefits and travel insurance policies will not get you to the hospital of your choice if you are hospitalized while traveling. That’s where being a MedjetAssist member pays dividends!

Most platinum cards and travel insurance policies will only arrange to medically evacuate you to the closest appropriate medical center, but as a Medjet member, you make the call on where you want to go for your care and treatment. Most Medjet members want to get back home to their home hospital, medical professionals and network of family and friends. As a Medjet member, the decision on where you want to go is yours*.

As a Medjet member if you become hospitalized 242 kilometres (150 miles) or more from home, virtually anywhere in the world*, Medjet will arrange medical transfer to the hospital of your choice. With Medjet there are no medical necessity clauses, transport cost limitations or additional fees and no pre-existing condition exclusions up to age 75.

To enrol, visit us online at http://www.medjetassist.com/ucalumni or call 1.800.527.7478. If you call, make sure you the mention University of Calgary Alumni Association to receive your preferred rate. University of Calgary faculty and staff are also eligible to receive these preferred rates.

Comments from a satisfied Medjet member

"Your organization arranged medical transfer for my wife from Orillia, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta. I was completely satisfied from my first phone call to your office to when my wife was delivered to Foothills Hospital. What an incredible organization you have...you are all to be commended. Simply wonderful. The air nurses were exceptionally nice and professional. Medjet may certainly count on my endorsement at any and all times." Peter from Calgary
