Polar operators like Secret Atlas mandate proof of insurance at embarkation. Coverage must include medical evacuation to match trip costs (often $100K+ USD). Waivers for pre-existing conditions require purchasing insurance within 14-21 days of initial deposit – critical for expedition travel where health emergencies demand immediate evacuations costing $50K-$500K.
