[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any of the ~$500/year travel-focused credit cards like CSR should provide some form of coverage.  I don’t really see the point of buying separate coverage unless you have a massive non-refundable expense such as a cruise.[/quote]

Those don't include medical expenses or evacuation. That's the real concern. Not the $5K cruise. [/quote]

Sapphire Reserve and Amex Platinum have medical expenses and evacuation coverage.

You'll still need international medical coverage for your care. From your own link:

"Evacuation does not mean repatriation. If you're far overseas, you won't be evacuated back to the U.S. Most policies state you'll be moved to the nearest medical facility capable of proper care.

The coverage is only for the cost of evacuation and medical care during transportation. Once you're back on the ground, [b]you still need medical insurance to pay the doctors and staff who provide care[/b]."
