You want to read under the "emergency medical benefits", not under trip interruption.

My read is that most usually do, HOWEVER the type of illness would require hospitalization and a physician saying 'they cannot be evacuated'. Most coverages provide for evacuation, and they will do that. Back to home.

A note from a doctor saying 'no travel for 4 weeks while those ears clear up here in Hawaii' will not likely be enough.

Once you inform the insurance management THEY will get involved with their own physicians and will determine how to proceed.

Also, be aware of the pre-existing conditions limitations.
