This is madness (in a good way ;))
If you're in a neutral country where will you be evacuated to?
Say for instance, I'm from Syria and I get ill in Venezuela, where will I have the option of being treated?

#12Is there no way to find the pricing for over 39 without creating an account? I don't see it in the faq.

That is correct. You're right though, we should have this. We will add a pricing table and get it up on the page next week.

#14Interesting, I'll likely sign up for this. Are there any blacklisted countries? I'm an American currently living in Russia and do a good bit of traveling/working.
Great to hear! I'm Sarah (co-founder / CTO) : We're unable to offer coverage in Iran and North Korea. ETA: We definitely cover your situation, unless you head to those countries.
Ok, great. Where can I view the list of providers? It's mentioned in the FAQ but I was not able to see it on the homepage.

#15Hi - I'm a digital nomad. I use Geo-Blue insurance from Blue Cross. Their system has been pretty easy and self-serve. They offer a similar plan with comparable pricing. How is this different?

This is a good question. If you need to be evacuated to get medical treatment you will be evacuated to the nearest hospital that is qualified to provide the medically necessary treatment.

#17Hm, I have worldwide (except US) medical insurance for 60euro/month. Your product seems just like regular travel insurance (evacuation only, no actual medical cover). Not sure what it offers compared to my insurance.
So I want:
- table that compares your insurance to alternatives
- clarify "evacuation", many nomads do not have a regular home.
- short extract from terms and conditions (maximal coverage, co-payment, etc...). Web is very vague...
- fix your terms & conditions, it is branded to other company.....

Thanks for great feedback.
- A comparison is currently in the making. - We will clarify "evacuation" and also add max coverage/deductible for every coverage under the explore button on the website.
I should add that we do provide medical cover, not only evacuation.

#19This sounds so promising. Reminding me of the new fintechs which are competing against classic banks (e.g. Revolut). I want something like a perfect app and simple fees for insurance!

Thanks. We are just getting started, and an app version is coming later this year.
