Medical Evacuation Testimonial

[SarahA]

After her SkyMed medical evacuation service, Deborah Martinelli gave this testimonial:

Jack and I live full-time in San Miguel after relocating from Madison, Wisconsin. When I started to experience problems with my right eye, I contacted my surgeon in Madison. He had successfully operated on the same eye a year before and he recommended a thorough eye exam as soon as I could get to Madison and that surgery would follow within a couple of hours if necessary.

I contacted SkyMed and Nan in Member Services confirmed that SkyMed would fly me and my partner back home. I was NOT hospitalized and did not need a private air ambulance, but since I had received a serious diagnosis we qualified for free commercial flights back home. Nan transferred me to John, SkyMed’s Travel Agent, who was very adept at finding availability on flights for the next day that I couldn’t find when I had tried earlier. The best I had been able to do in my search had been 4 days out! We were flown to Madison by commercial jet in less than 24 hours from my initial call to them. Amazing! As SkyMed members, SkyMed paid for our flights.

Luckily for me, the news at my appointment with my eye surgeon was positive. I did not need surgery. I called SkyMed and they told me they would book our tickets back to Mexico when we were ready. The return flights were also covered by our SkyMed plan.

We’re very happy with the total SkyMed experience. We’ve told our neighbors, friends and family in Wisconsin and in Mexico that SkyMed treated us like royalty and we were given special treatment from beginning to end. We couldn’t be more pleased to have the SkyMed team ready to help us when we need it most. We had signed up for a multi-year plan and feel it has already paid for itself. Mil Gracias!!

If you would want to be evacuated to the home hospital area of your choice in the USA, Canada or Mexico, in a medical emergency, you need a SkyMed plan! Evacuations via private air ambulance, commercial with nurse escort or commercial all available depending on the seriousness of your medical condition.
