Just talked to Bato on the phone and to MedJet on the phone about Bato's situation in Mexico.

MedJet's rep went over their stance, which is: to use MedJet, one has to have the need to be an inpatient in the travel country and to receive further treatment back in the U.S at a medical care facility.

If you prang your body and your bike in Mexico, but you can walk around and aren't an inpatient, MedJet is unlikely to come and get you. You not only need to be an inpatient at a medical care facility, you need to need further care in such a facility back home. Also, they require a medical report from your attending physician stating this. If you can remember this rule while traveling, you may be able to make sure your attending physician words his/her report accordingly.

If all this falls into place, and you have the motorcycle rider, they'll bring your bike back under the agreement as well.

Also keep in mind, companies like Adventure Mexico Insurance (a.k.a. Mexadventure), who offer "Platinum Travel Assistance", offer airline ticket(s) to you in this situation (of which Bato took advantage), and they also pay a portion of your bike repatriation - although not the full cost of getting your bike home.

Know the insurance rules and how the system works and you may be able to have the attending physician avoid a mis-characterization of your situation and thus you will be winging your way home in the event of a mishap.

Welcome back home Bato. Glad you're OK. Te estrellaste de panza.

Trice,
You are right. On a previous ride one of our party broke his collarbone. Since he was ambulatory (walking wounded), he didn't qualify for hospitalization.....nor could he ride. It was a catch 22. He had Medjet, which in this case did him little good. He ended up riding in a truck taking pain meds for the next six days.

Unless my memory fails me, at one point MedJet offered an "airline ticket home" if you were injured and couldn't operate your vehicle but didn't need medevac and could fly commercial. I may be missing something, but they seemed to have tightened the rules....and when I asked specifically about that, got an "I'm not sure...."

And as put earlier, another Catch 22 is that bike repatriation with insurance underwriters doesn't pay the actual full cost of getting your machine back in your garage.

On a second call with Bato, he agreed, he could have stayed in the hospital and had his "attending physican" make the case to get final treatment in San Antonio - but he wanted out of there. Bad.

Note: A minor point of further clarification - Bato bought his own ticket home and is seeking reimbursement from Mexadventure. This ties in with his lack of interest in waiting around for the wheels of insurance bureaucracy to turn.
