Travel insurance providers, who maintain large databases of skilled medical providers and transportation firms, are skilled at handling these types of emergency medical situations. The providers' 24 hour emergency assistance centers are staffed with highly trained individuals who can handle language translation and are trained to ensure that escorts and the appropriate medical equipment are on board. They will coordinate with the host country, local authorities, and the traveler’s physician to determine the best and safest method of transportation as well as managing payment and timing of services. The 24 hr assistance also keeps in touch with family members advising them of the schedule and the traveler's progress in getting back home which includes handling immigration documentation, flight clearances, coordinating ground transportation as well as entry to an appropriate medical facility.
