Medical Escort services are often used as an alternative to a full air medical charter providing monitoring aboard commercial aircraft. Medical Escorts are typically a licensed nurse or an EMT or paramedic. Lifeflight flights aside, Medical Escort services are best utilized when a patient is medically stable and doesn't require critical care.

Lifeflight is expensive and comes at a time when the patient is experiencing other significant costs. To help manage these costs, Emergency Air Ambulance will suggest several medically appropriate transport alternatives of varying price ranges, all of which ensure the highest standard of medical care. Lifeflight prices vary significantly, depending on the patient's needs. The patient's medical condition will dictate the flight medical staffing, medical equipment, and ground transportation required. The patient's condition may also require immediate departure using the fastest transport option. The graph below shows examples of various transport options and their corresponding pricing. To obtain an exact price based on the patient's medical condition please contact us by phone.

For inter-facility transports under two hundred miles, long distance is not always cost effective. In addition, some non-critical patients prefer the cost savings of longer distance ground transport. In these instances, Emergency Air Ambulance will transport the patient comfortably, providing skilled medical care, at a cost significantly below that of air transportation.
