Are you covered?
http://www.cloudbasemayhem.com/unscrambling-insurance-are-you-covered/
Travel Abroad. Very few health insurance companies cover
repatriation (ie you get hurt in a foreign company and want to get to a hospital
on your own home turf) if you are injured. More concerning, most will definitely
not cover you if you are hurt participating in human flight activities. A few
years back we got together with Seven Corners and wrote our own policy and
contract for our guests who participate in remote adventures on our vessel
Discovery. The expedition is all about kitesurfing, so we needed kitesurfing,
surfing, free diving and other extreme sports covered. And because I paraglide
and speedfly, we threw that into the mix. As far as I know, Seven Corners Dog
Tag Extreme https://www.dogtag.com/sports/ is the only one that covers paragliding and
other human flight accidents, but as it is an individual plan it is a lot more
expensive. PLEASE read the policy and make sure it fits, but I use this plan
every time I travel out of the US and from experience (thankfully not my own),
we know it is VERY, VERY comprehensive and works. Disclaimer- my company doesnt
make a dime off this, this is meant for guests of our boat but you can use it.
It costs a couple bucks a day (depends a bit on your age)- I think its pretty
awesome coverage (covers lost baggage for example), but do your research. Click
on this link, then click on Mandatory Medical Insurance and you will find
everything you need:

Another option that I havent totally flushed out, but something I know for
example Nick Greece uses when he travels, and activates if you are greater than
100 miles from home is Global Rescue,
https://ss.globalrescue.com/#!/signup/?signupas=member&source=grcom. This
covers evacuation and medjet assist and is a yearly plan, so if you travel a lot
this could be a great option. Global Rescue requires two-way communication with
either the covered person, or with someone who is with the injured person.
Global Rescue is NOT Search, they just rescue.
