## How It Works

### 1. Enroll then travel.

You need to be at the Residence Address listed on your Membership on the date you choose as your Effective Date.

### 2. Illness, injury, or a security event interrupts your trip...

If you are admitted to a hospital and require continued inpatient care, contact Medjet. For MedjetHorizon Members, if you feel your safety is threatened, call the 24/7 Crisis Response line.

### 3. We transport to the hospital of your choice, at home.

A dedicated transport team will stay with the member from their current bedside until they reach their home hospital.
