CASH ADVANCE FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
Emergency Cash Advance Criteria
Medjet may, at its sole discretion, provide an Emergency Cash Advance for qualified Members of up to sixty thousand (United States) dollars ($60,000) to the medical provider to guarantee admission and/or treatment when a foreign medical provider will not accept a credit card.
You must be a Member in our MedjetHorizon program in order to utilize the Emergency Cash Advance feature, and no more than one (1) Emergency Cash Advance may be provided per Member in a membership year. Because Medjet is a medical transport membership program and not an insurance plan, we will not reimburse Members for expenses they incur on their own. An Emergency Cash Advance is NOT GUARANTEED. Medjet reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse to provide an Emergency Cash Advance where the advance cannot properly be secured, where sufficient minimum credit of the Member cannot be confirmed, or under such other circumstances Medjet deems appropriate. Prior to Medjet making an Emergency Cash Advance, the Member must guarantee repayment to Medjet of an Emergency Cash Advance by executing a Promissory Note in favor of Medjet. Members may pay the Promissory Note by bank wire transfer.
An Emergency Cash Advance is not a loan and must be repaid in full within thirty (30) days from the execution of the Promissory Note. Should repayment not be received by Medjet within the thirty (30) days, Medjet will seek repayment from any guaranteeing source.
An Emergency Cash Advance is available only during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time) excluding holidays, Saturday and Sunday.
The Emergency Cash Advance is not available to Medjet Foreign National Members or members traveling in OFAC “Office of Foreign Assets Control” restricted countries as listed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanction list.
