Thank you for your question, Noel. Actually, you are on the right track! “Home Hospital” would be defined as any hospital in your home area. I’ll try to explain the benefit another way:
While the program does not have mileage restrictions, each paid benefit of Good Sam TravelAssist and Good Sam TravelAssist Premier (i.e. RV Return, Return of Mortal Remains, Emergency Medical Evacuation from Inadequate to Adequate Medical Facility, etc.) is available to you only when you are outside of your normal daily routine. The Evacuation from Home Hospital benefit, essentially, removes the “outside your normal daily routine” requirement from the Emergency Medical Evacuation benefit.
So, yes, if you were hit over the head with a frying pan in your kitchen, taken to a hospital at which they did not have the expertise or facilities necessary to completely deal with that sort of medical emergency, and needed to be evacuated to another hospital that does, Good Sam TravelAssist PREMIER would arrange and pay for that evacuation.
In addition to the Home Hospital Evacuation Benefit, Good Sam TravelAssist Premier adds the following Paid Benefits to the list of Good Sam TravelAssist Paid Benefits:
Paid Pet Lodging and/or Return (if the member becomes hospitalized)
Paid Flight Home (and Return of RV/Vehicle) if your home is made uninhabitable by a natural disaster
Paid Flight Home (and Return of RV/Vehicle) if a family member is hospitalized or passes away
Paid Upgraded Transportation to Home Area after Stabilization if medically necessary
Paid Nurse Escort during Transportation to Home Area after Stabilization if medically necessary
