There’s no extra charge for oxygen; in fact, our aircraft are medically equipped with all advanced life support equipment. So not only will you be supplied with oxygen but medications are supplied at no extra charge, there’s going to be our medical staff at no extra charge, and then we also include, the ground ambulance transport on both sides. It’s included into the Med Flight broker cost as well. The quote that we give you is the most it will cost you and if we can, we will reduce the quoted price before the trip begins.
In non-emergency situations, Emergency Air Ambulance provides our customers a written quote explaining all services provided. The life flight charters price quoted is the final price and there are no hidden costs. Our rates are based on formulas intended to provide our customers a fair price for superior service.
Unlike JCAHO, which is an independent accrediting organization for hospitals, no truly independent organization for accrediting fixed wing aircraft yet exists. CAMTS certification is basically a group of Essex Air European network air ambulance companies that have tried to set standards but they are not widely accepted. Therefore, the vast majority of air ambulances, including our company, have chosen not to participate in CAMTS. However, we do participate in other organizations such as NFPA and AMPA. Our standards meet or exceed those of CAMTS and we are licensed and regulated by the state of Florida Health Department, the strictest in the nation.
I want to thank you for all that you did for me. Your life flight are truly life savers and we continue to sing your praises whenever we talk about the entire incident.
