Hundreds of dollars? That must be nice. If I have to be Medivaced to a hospital I'm looking at a charge of around $10k. I've often purchased separate insurance from the 2 companies that provide that service in my state (Alaska) when I know I'll be doing risky things in remote areas.
That's right, I have to buy 2 separate policies, because I won't get to choose which one picks me up, as it's a matter of who's available and even if I had a choice between them, I could be incapacitated so couldn't make my wishes known.
Fortunately the insurance is around $150/year for each, so not crazy expensive, but still not what I'd like to be spending that money on
