No, we handle pre-scheduled non-emergency medical transportation. If you have an emergency transport or an immediate life-threatening situation, always call your local emergency service (911) to be transported to the closest appropriate facility for stabilization. All our trips are based on the availability at the time of booking. We suggest as much notice as possible; for air ambulance domestic transports, we recommend at least 24hours of advance notice, and for international trips at least 24 to 72hrs notice, depending on the distance and location.

Fixed-wing air ambulances are specialized medical EMS airplanes that handle domestic or international transports over longer travel distances or terrain impractical for ground and helicopter transports. The word fixed-wing stands for wings that do not move and the type of aircraft that generates forward thrust powered by propeller-driven or jet engines. This type of ambulance transport is widely used for trips longer than 300 miles away when there is safe access to airport runways. Fixed-wing air ambulance transports are essential for their increased range for carrying patients between states and countries compared with other medical transport modes. Fixed-wing air ambulance transports are used in combination with ground ambulances to complete the bed-to-bed transfer from and to each airport.

The main factor determining whether an air ambulance transport is covered by insurance is whether the transport is deemed medically necessary. Most insurances only provide coverage for the air ambulance to a higher level of care, closest appropriate facility by the least expensive mode of transportation, and when the other modes of transport are contraindicated for the patient.

At Air Medical Transport, based on our experience we understand it is not always clear whether this requirement is met, therefore, a billing department specialist will be happy to assist with:
a) Contacting the private insurance company to determine coverage
b) Filing the claim appropriately on the patient’s behalf
c) Follow up on the claim until it is resolved.

When the transport is medically necessary and meets the private insurance criteria for coverage, our billing department may require a deposit before undertaking the expense associated with planning and beginning services. Suppose the client’s/patient’s insurance company, health plan, or other third-party payor makes full payment to Air Medical Transport for services rendered. In that case, the client may be reimbursed its good faith advance payment less any co-insurance or co-deductible from Air Medical Transport.

We handle all types of patients as per the availability of the requested areas. Pediatrics, adults, geriatrics, bariatrics, etc. Some specialty air transports may require extra time as per the availability and capabilities on each location.

Most standard size aircraft stretchers are made to sustain up to 350lbs or 159kgs of maximum weight; Bed bound bariatric patients that weigh more than 300lbs or 136kgs and need to travel by air, will need a fit measurement and assessment for the team to ensure a safe loading, unloading to and from the aircraft with the appropriate equipment. Based on the assessment details the clinical team will determinate the appropriate transport mode, type of stretcher, and bariatric aircraft.
