Emergency Medical Transportation – In the event of a Life Threatening emergency, when appropriate treatment is not available locally, this policy provides Emergency Medical Transportation to the closest medical facility capable of providing the required care. Should treatment be available locally but the insured person chooses to be treated elsewhere, transportation expenses shall be the responsibility of the insured person.

In the event of such emergency, the Care Coordination Dept. must be contacted in advance in order to approve and arrange such Emergency Medical Air Transportation. The Care Coordination Company, on behalf of the insurer, retains the right to decide the medical facility to which the insured person shall be transported. If the person chooses not to be treated at the facility and location arranged by the Care Coordination Company, then transportation expenses shall be the responsibility of the insured person.
