They also take care of all logistics, for example ambulance from hospital to airport, coordinating communications with your doctor and local medical personnel, etc. I've never had to make a claim, but it looks great, and online reviews seem to confirm. IMO, very cheap for what you get. They also have plans for shorter duration, say a couple of weeks for a particular trip.
My organization uses medjet assist also, and with a "corporate" account, the cost is a lot less than $350/year per person... i even got coverage for Mrs.Grates3 for when she accompanies me for about $180/year extra.
