Birmingham, AL - July 1, 2008: Responding to current trends in the travel industry, MedjetAssist, the nation's leading emergency medical evacuation membership program, is introducing a special membership program dedicated to domestic travel only.

With the shrinking US dollar and gas prices at an all-time high, many travelers are opting for vacations closer to home. Recognizing this need, the new MedjetAssist Domestic Membership program is tailored to travelers staying within the continental United States. For the discounted membership rate of $175 for individuals and $305 for families -- compared to $225 and $350 for standard individual and family memberships -- members under the age of 75 travel with the peace of mind that if they are hospitalized anywhere in the contiguous 48 states more than 150 miles from home, MedjetAssist will evacuate them by medically equipped and staffed private jet back to their hospital of choice.
"There's no doubt that the average American traveler is feeling the effects of the downturn in the economy," says MedjetAssist President and CEO Roy Berger. "But even if travelers may be trading trips to far-flung destinations for vacations closer to home, they (and their families) still need the protection and peace of mind that MedjetAssist provides."
