evacuation
Anyone know of an insurance agency who will cover medical evacuation for senior citizens over 85 or 90?

Insuremytrip.com has many policies that will cover just that. Be sure to read the fine print, however.
Most of the travel insurance policies I’ve seen will cover older folks, but you’ll likely find the premium to be high, relatively speaking, due to the fact that medical and emergency evacuation are used more often by older travelers. The website mentioned in the previous reply is a good place to start. Here’s another for a bunch of good info: http://www.travelinsurancereview.net/
I use American Express Travel Insurance. I cannot tell you if they have an age limit.
If you're a member of AARP, they offer a discount with one of the major travel insurers.....
I know about insuremytrip.com and the others but they all seem to have an upper age limit! Anyone with specific info or experience evac insuring people in their 90's?
I use American Express insurance, too. It's available to everyone with an American Express card, no matter which card, I was told just a few weeks ago when I checked into it for my next trip. I'm not aware of an age limit. Two years ago I paid around $13/month. Got it several weeks early, to cover existing conditions. Canceled it after I got home. The policy also covered a person coming to your side if necessary and they would take you home alive or not. It was health insurance, as well. I never needed to use it, so I don't know how well they would perform.
I believe Travelex has a Travel Max plan with coverage for those over 80. Look it up online, or call them and ask.
