Many insurance plans, HMO's, PPO's and IPO's cover long distance business. It is important to check your plan to see that there is an air ambulance benefit and what the criteria is. Most plans require that medical necessity is met. This means that a physician must certify that the transportation by air ambulance is indicated and that transportation by other means may endanger the patient. Some plans require that the transport is a life threatening emergency or that the destination is the closest appropriate facility. In addition, be sure to check if there is a maximum benefit and what the benefit level is ( for example a 80% benefit level means the family must pay 20% of the charges ).
Our Medical Director insures that your patient receives proper treatment during the transport. Our Insurance Specialist helps manage the paper work for you after your trip is completed. Our air ambulance ambulances team makes your transport as peaceful as possible.

It seems hard to believe it was only a month ago that we engaged your medical air ambulance to bring my critically ill mother home from Barbados. Because she has improved so (she says just because she was able to come home!) and because the whole experience was so frightening, it seems like it was years ago. But it wasn't ... and my reflecting back on the situation, confirms my belief that everything started to look up the minute I contacted you and your staff. From the moment I first heard your reassuring words, that you could solve my transportation problems in the safe and medically appropriate way that the situation demanded, I stopped feeling panic-stricken. Hope was coming in the form of your staff.
