Does K&R Cover Evacuation?

Partly: some K&R policies, like Chubb's, pay emergency political repatriation expenses, but medical and routine evacuation belong under travel-assistance cover.

Partly. Chubb's primary K&R policy includes an Emergency Political Repatriation Expenses insuring clause, which pays to get people out when a political crisis makes a location unsafe. Its listed insuring clauses don't include medical evacuation.

If you need someone flown out after an illness or injury, that's a travel-assistance or medical-evacuation benefit, so check you have it elsewhere. On the K&R quote, ask what event triggers repatriation, which costs count, who arranges the transport and whether it shares the main limit.
