Our medical director in consultation with the patient's doctor will recommend various medically appropriate options for the patient. The major difference between our air medical air ambulances aircraft is flight speed. All are equipped with the same advanced life support equipment and skilled medical teams. Some critical patients require the fastest form of transport available, the jets. Others can withstand a little longer flight for substantial cost savings. Factors in choosing the aircraft include the patient's medical condition, the number of passengers traveling with the patient, and the length of the flight.

All air ambulances are very limited in space because of all the medical equipment on board. To ensure the safety of the patient, we try to limit the luggage on each flight to one carry-on per person and when I say carry-on I mean something that would be able to fit on a commercial flight on the overhead compartment. If you have a little bit extra than that, if you can let me know, I can always check with my pilots just because I want to make sure that we accommodate your special needs on escort lear jet.

The size of the plane depends on what type of Medivac ambulances aircraft that you fly on; but on a Lear Jet, it generally has the the space to fit about eight passengers if it were not in ambulance configuration. If you could imagine an aircraft with seats side-by-side. Then what we do is we take out some of those seats and we install a medical stretcher on one of the sides. As you enter the aircraft the two pilots are to the left in the front. As you go toward the back the Stretcher is on one side and the medical crew have seats beside the stretcher. Behind the stretcher is a seat that is about the size of a loveseat that stretches across the back. The passengers sit on this seat and witness the care that is being given to their loved one. Behind this seat is storage of equipment and supplies.

We work with all of major insurance companies, as examples Oxford; Blue Cross and Blue Shield; Aetna, AIG and many others. We will work with your insurance company to determine your life flight coverage and we will accept their letter of guarantee. You will only be responsible for the amount that they do not cover.

An air ambulance is a private aircraft that is equipped with a stretcher, medical personnel, medication and medical equipment the patient should require during the Mercy flights flight.
