What is the minimum distance for your long-distance medical transport services?

We specialize in medical transportation for distances over 200 miles, including cross-country and coast-to-coast transport. Our services are specifically designed for interstate and long-haul journeys that require specialized medical care and comfort during extended travel.

How do you handle multi-state medical transportation journeys?

Our cross-country medical transport service operates nationwide with proper licensing in all 50 states. We handle all interstate requirements, provide consistent medical staff throughout the entire journey, and offer route planning that includes necessary medical stops and overnight accommodations for extended trips.

What are the costs associated with cross-country medical transport?

Long-distance medical transportation costs are primarily based on total mileage between destinations, the patient's medical needs, and any specialized equipment required. Unlike local services with hourly rates, our interstate transport operates on a comprehensive package pricing model, with many long-distance trips potentially qualifying for insurance coverage.

How far in advance should I book interstate medical transportation?

For optimal scheduling of cross-country medical transport, we recommend booking 7-14 days in advance, which allows proper coordination with medical facilities in different states, route planning, and arrangement of specialized equipment. For urgent interstate transfers, we offer expedited service when possible.

Can patients with complex medical needs be transported across state lines?

Yes, our interstate medical transport vehicles are equipped to handle patients with ventilators, feeding tubes, IV medications, oxygen requirements, and other complex medical needs. Our nationwide transport team includes critical care providers trained specifically for long-distance medical care during cross-country journeys.

How do you ensure patient comfort during cross-country medical transport?

Our long-distance medical transport vehicles feature hospital-grade stretchers with premium mattresses, climate control systems, entertainment options, frequent comfort breaks, and overnight accommodations for multi-day journeys. We prioritize patient dignity and comfort during interstate travel with significantly more space than standard ambulances.

Five Tips for Planning an Air Ambulance Flight

When a person is unable to obtain the specialized care that they need, they will become a medical tourist and travel to another country. This may require the use of an air ambulance to ensure comfort and safety during the journey. The process of planning a trip and hiring an air ambulance can seem overwhelming. The following tips will help the provider give the best possible service before and during the flight.

1. Choose a Destination

Before contacting an air ambulance provider, the person should consult with their medical team to determine where the best possible care can be obtained. Aside from the necessary medical paperwork, the individual should make sure their passport is current and start the application process for any required visas well before the trip. Having all the documents in one place will help both the person and the air ambulance provider avoid any difficulties along the way.

2. Do Thorough Research

The choice of an air ambulance provider is just as vital as choosing the right doctor for appropriate treatment and care. Before making a commitment, the following questions should be asked:

• Is the right aircraft available? The provider should have several different types of aircraft available to take individuals wherever they need to go. Make sure to confirm the size of the aircraft available and the ability to accommodate any family members or other extra passengers that may be traveling.

• Will an experienced medical team travel with the person? The medical team should be based on patient’s needs and may include a respiratory therapist, a critical care nurse, or in some cases, a doctor on the flight. The aircraft should also be able to accommodate any extra specialists that are required under certain circumstances.

3. Have Paperwork Ready

The person should provide the air ambulance provider with all the necessary paperwork and medical data required for the flight. This will all support the patient in receiving the Best Care in the Air^®. All passports with Visas should be kept together in an accessible place, as they will be needed immediately upon arriving in a foreign country.

4. Pack the Right Items

An air medical transport carries a great deal of necessary equipment to support patients in flight. This means there is not much space available for personal luggage, and the individual will need to pack their essentials efficiently. In most cases, the person should pack comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that can be easily removed if needed. It is also a good idea to bring any products or snacks that may not be available at the destination, even if the travel is restricted to North America. A book or tablet computer will help to pass the long hours if the person is conscious.

5. Arrange Ground Transport

The purpose of an air ambulance is to transport a person from one place to another. While some providers will arrange ground transport
for both the originating and the destination airports, the individual must ensure that this service will be available.

The goal is to have a comfortable, seamless experience with all medical needs met from start to finish.
