gently caress, that's awful. I had MedJetAssist insurance for years, but it's lapsed now as of Jan 1st. All I can tell you is that I looked into it from an insurance perspective and it was incredibly expensive, like $100k for an average distance (couple thousand mile) medical flight. Does his medical insurance cover repatriation? IIRC many do not if 'equivalent medical care is available' in the host country, for which DR may or may not qualify. I think I got mine in the first place in 2008 since Panama was considered first-world medical care and my home insurance did not cover repatriation from there, back when I was a US resident. Of course depending on prognosis and necessary care etc it may make sense to repatriate him, since his life is worth more than being hosed by insurance companies. Isn't there a forum for medical goons? They'll maybe know more since this is a US/Canada-centric forum.
