I just went to renew my membership and noted that it does not include dive accident insurance, only medical transport coverage, unless you purchase additional DAN Dive accident insurance coverage. Is that a change or did I just not pay close enough attention previously when renewing? I could have sworn DAN membership inlcluded dive accident related medical coverage insurance.
 
Put my butt here.

It has been this way for years ... and years ... and years. You have to choose to purchase dive accident insurance and in most states, there are a few levels to choose from.
 
Different levels of insurance coverage separate from membership as I also had always remembered too.

My wife doesn’t dive, but we always get DAN membership for her. Best price we’ve seen for evaluation insurance
 
I was going to buy the DAN accident insurance just now, but noticed it doesn't cover non-dive accidents in country. Does anyone have a recommendation for accident insurance in the USA?

Specifically, if I crash my dirt bike 30 miles from nowhere and break both legs, what will cover the cost of evac? I have Aetna HDHP, but looking to make sure evac is covered fully. I'm using Garmin GPS, so getting the help isn't problematic, but cost most certainly is....
