Air ambulance service can be pretty expensive but it’s considered the most beneficial service when patients need a fast, reliable, and safe method of transportation. Air ambulance services are one of the easiest and best ways for patients to go from one destination to another especially when the distance is too long.

It’s often a challenge for patients to travel from one city to another especially when they’re injured or suffering from serious illnesses. Therefore, non-emergency medical transport services tend to use air ambulance services in order to transport these patients safely while eliminating the possibility of them being injured more on the way.

Have you considered what would happen if you had a serious injury or illness while traveling far away from home? Most travelers do not think about how they would get home if they experienced an injury or serious illness while traveling. You might think that an accident won’t happen to you, but an unfortunate accident can happen to anyone at any time. A slip on a set of stairs might be all that it takes for you to have a serious medical problem far away from home. At Medical Transport Services, we offer long distance medical transport services and transport to patients of any age. We are also set up to transport special-needs patients. Commercial airlines may not allow you to fly home on your own or with your travel partner because of medical liability. At Medical Transport Services, we offer long-distance air ambulance service to help you get home safely.

What Our Air Ambulance Service Is

At Medical Transport Services, we are not an insurance provider. We are an air ambulance that you can use if you need a medical evaluation. Our services work with your travel insurance to cover your evacuation costs. Paying for an air ambulance out-of-pocket could be cost-prohibitive, so it is a good idea to ensure that your travel insurance includes medical evacuation coverage. We liaise with your medical insurance company for pre-authorization and document submission.

We provide both emergency and non-emergency air medical transports. Our medical associates take patients to and from hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and private residences. Our crews consist of a flight nurse and a flight paramedic or respiratory therapist in addition to the licensed pilots. Our planes are like a flying intensive care unit.
