How Long Does It Take to Arrange Medical Repatriation Without Insurance?
We understand the urgency of a medical emergency abroad and work quickly to coordinate every aspect of the transport. We can often help expedite the process by liaising directly with the treating hospital, coordinating medical documentation, and assisting with arrangements at the receiving destination.
How Quickly Can You Arrange Medical Repatriation?
Once a patient has been declared fit to fly, our medical escort can often be at the patient’s bedside within 24 to 72 hours, depending on the patient’s location, airline availability, and required medical clearances.
