Where the FOGG MEDI-CARD is accepted, the card holder won't be charged, meaning peace of mind that no upfront costs will be incurred to get off the mountain and to the doctor. Payment is made by specialist ski claims handlers FOGG direct to the service provider.

- Transport off the mountain by skidoo or helicopter
- Ambulance charges to reach the first treating doctor
