Got a mailing today. Says "Special Invitation Enclosed" on the envelope as well as "Earn 1500 MileagePlus miles!"

It's $209 for member and $269 for family.

It doesn't really spell out the details of the emergency medical evacuation services.

For instance, up to how much does it cover?

Second, do you have to get preauthorization after having a local doctor confirm that you're stable to travel?

The policies you can get on various sites are typically around $50 for 2-4 week trip and some have primary health insurance coverage. They are at least $100k for medical evacuation, often $250-500k.
