Binational Emergency Medical Rescue Group
Have any Nomads used or know someone who has needed to use Bi-national Emergency Medical Group? They are based in Chula Vista, CA. Are they
legitimate/reliable?
A membership card costs $30. On their website they claim to be able to get you evacuated quickly, perform search and rescue and act as liason while
hospitalized in Mexico. How can they charge so little compared with SkyMed which charges a whole lot more?

I believe they are non-profit.
There membership is also sold through Discover Baja.
You could call and ask them about the service.

Isn't that Cecelia Diaz and friends? I understand their service is good and is reliable, and I have no idea how they do it for that small amount in
annual premium. I believe Nomads member Jeans had some experience with them when her mom broke a body part while at Gonzaga Bay. Perhaps one of you
who knows Jeans - David K or M or ? - might ask her to comment.

I think they coordinate with various government (Mexican and U.S.) and private companies and individuals when necessary to get you out. The cost of
doing it is still something you pay. You can get an emergency evacuation policy as part of your auto insurance that would cover most if not all of the
evacuation cost. BEMRG would be a coordinator to get the right people to the right place to get it done.
