While we have trip insurance for our upcoming charter, the medivac in the policy we bought is for nearest hospital. I prefer to buy an additional policy that will get us back home. Any recommendations for a short duration policy?

We have Medjet. Have not had to use it to date. I think our family policy (us parents and a 20 yo son) was $700 for the highest level, two year policy. Might be overkill for jsut a single trip. I bought it becuase we travel to relatively remote locations as well as internationally several times a year.

We have MedJet Assist. It's an annual membership, good for foreign and domestic travel.

Medjet also has a short term coverage 8-30 day for as low as 75 bucks

I used Skymed last year but didn't see a short term option on their website. I sent an email asking but haven't gotten a response yet.

I’ve used SkyMed for every trip we took out of the country. They always had a trip specific option for departure and return.

I took another look at the website and there is a SkyMed Essentials Daily Plan which I assume is their short term option. I need to explore coverage on SkyMed and Medjet.
