READ THE CONTRACT CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING~~~

There are a lot of products out there so research and read.HAVE THEM SEND YOUR A COPY OF THEIR CONTRACT FOR REVIEW BEOFRE YOU BUY. Most of them will evacuate to the location of their choice and at their sole DISCREATION.

MedJet and MASA are two companies with air ambulance service and I am sure their are others.

Over the past few years there have been a number of posts on this board regarding out of country medical insurance but other than one which you can find under Medical Emergency I cant find any other that makes direct reference to air ambulance only insurance. Recently there has been a situation where a regular poster to this site was air evacuated out and unfortunately I THINK didnt have this type of insurance for whatever reason.

You will find that costs will vary depending on age, marital status etc, duration of coverage ( 1 year, 3 years , 5 years etc)

Watch out not just what you are insured for , but also the fine print when you are not insured eg pre exisitng conditions ,helicopter transfer from ships, evacuation from a conflict zone etc .

Keep in mind that all medical bills such as hospital , dr's fees incurred where the medical emergency arises (assuming in a foreign country) are not covered by the air ambulance insurance ..(for that you need travel medical insurance which most times includes medical evacuation)

Also air ambulance will ONLY take place when your attending physician in concert with the air ambulance provider agrees that from a medical perspective you are stable and controlled. It may involve the transfer to your home hospital or the nearest hospital, fully capable of treating you
It might even be by regularly scheduled airline depending on how serious the medical condition is

Point is : DO the research, you don't want to be in for a surprise at time of claim.
