Whats your experience, advise, recommendations

cheers Andy

The NRA, and Safari Club offer it. I have the NRAs but I've never had to use it. I couldn't tell you one over the other but read the fine print I guess.

Andy,

Talk to your travel agent. I pay $150.00 year for family travel health coverage. No limit on health care costs as long as under 17 days per trip. Last year for Oz I paid them $45.00 for extended trip waiver. This is all you will need providing you get to medical facility. Not worth getting global Rescue etc unless you have sat phone. The above type coverage covers medi vac such as flying Dr. and Royal Flying Doc's in Oz. Mine is with RBC but i know Loyd's of London used to offer it.

Check out a company called Airmed International.  They sell cards for $250 a year.  They will come get you Anywhere in the world.  Fly you home in their private jets to any Hospital in the world.  I have worked personally with these folks and they are some of the best qualified knowledgeable and well equipped outfits I have ever encountered.

If Airmed is the group out of Alabama, then they are the folks that the mission groups I've worked with in the past use most often. They seemed like a reliable group.

Yep Birmingham Alabama,
