Air ambulance transports provide urgent medical transport services during emergencies. However, most patients do not require this level of transport. In the recovery phase following an illness, injury, or procedure, family members can be safely transported on a commercial aircraft, accompanied by a specially trained and skilled commercial medical escort. Our long distance medical transportation services are a cost-effective alternative to air ambulance.
Unfortunately, many facilities lack well-established air medical transport services to cater to the transfer needs of family members. As a result, these patients often face significant risk when traveling home alone, with other family members, or with individuals lacking medical training and flight transport experience.
To address these concerns, we offer experienced travel companions for seniors who ensure safety, comfort, and proper medical attention throughout the journey. Having accumulated over 25 years of patient transport service experience, we are well-equipped to provide a comprehensive assessment and determine the safest means of transporting your family member to their desired destination.
The RN flight nurse specializes in assisting patients who have restricted ambulation and orthopedic injuries. Our services extend to individuals with behavioral health disorders and neurological injuries. We are equipped to administer supplemental oxygen and cater to complex respiratory needs. Many of our patients require complete assistance with lifting transfers, ensuring a smooth transition from bed, to chair, to the aircraft seat.
The comfort and safety of our patient is our top priority. Many patients require fully dependent care and may have limitations in expressing their needs. We make every effort to tailor the medical air transport services plan to fit the patient's unique requirements. During the flight, we can administer intravenous hydration, medications, sedatives, and pain relief as necessary.
To prioritize safety and ensure patient comfort, we require our patients to travel in first or business class.
Stretcher service may be available for some international flights. It is important to note that stretcher service has many limitations, such as discomfort for the patient, limited movement, limited privacy, and high cost. As a result, it is not generally recommended, unless medically necessary.
Instead, as an alternative, certain international carriers offer first-class seats that recline fully, offering a more comfortable option. We will thoroughly discuss your specific preferences and circumstances and offer all suitable options with you.
Contact us by phone, email, or our website Transport Inquiry Form. An RN flight nurse can be ready to travel within 48-72 hours, depending on patient needs and flight availability.
We will carefully assess the medical requirements of your family member to determine the suitability of our commercial medical transport services. Following this evaluation, we will provide you with a preliminary quote.
To initiate commercial medical flight transport services, please ensure you have the following in place:
Agreement among the family and healthcare team
One designated family spokesperson
Identification of a receiving facility for the family member
Proposed travel date
Once these prerequisites are met, you will be assigned a dedicated RN medical flight coordinator to assist you throughout the journey.
Request an official medical report from the family member’s hospital records and a verbal nursing report from the healthcare member caring for the family member.
Begin securing a proposed airline itinerary.
Confirm the availability and select the appropriate flight nurse.
Coordinate communication among hospital administration, family members, case managers, and insurance companies.
Organize travel details, including ground transportation and special medical equipment.
During the transport process, medical treatment is administered in strict adherence to the discharging physician's medical orders. The RN flight coordinator ensures that medical air transport services are carried out with the highest standard of care.
In the event of an in-flight emergency, the RN flight nurse will follow the American Heart Association Basic Life Support standards to provide appropriate emergency treatment.
We are dedicated to providing you with the necessary information and support to navigate this intricate and time-sensitive process. Your RN flight coordinator is readily available to assist you 7 days a week. Depending on the family member's specific needs and flight availability, a commercial flight nurse can be ready for travel within 48-72 hours. Contact us today.
