Will insurance cover Air Ambulance transportation?

How does it work?

Our flight coordinators provide a cost estimate based on patient care needs. -
A signed copy of our "quote" agreement initiates the transfer process. -
Payment in full for patient responsibility fees is confirmed. -
Aircraft and medical teams are dispatched to the patient's location.
Can anyone travel with the patient?
Yes! Our fleet of "super-mid" and "heavy" category aircraft allow for multiple traveling companions and their luggage. Pets can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis with approval from our flight department.
Do you own and operate your own aircraft?
Yes. Emergency Airlift owns and operates a total of five Falcon 50 and one Falcon 900 Air Ambulance configured aircraft. Each plane has undergone a custom retrofit to accommodate the onboard medical stretcher and self-contained electric lift system. All flights are operated by Emergency Airlift under FAR Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate #LDIA742M.
Who are the medical staff?
Each patient is triaged by the on-duty medical coordinator, to establish the necessary crew composition. The medical team will communicate regularly with the treating staff right up to the time patient is picked up.
