A critical medical situation is one of the last things you want to consider while traveling the world. If you have a serious injury or illness that requires you to be transported to a different location for medical care, MTI 24/7 is here to help. Our medical evacuation service is designed for your safety and comfort while traveling.
What you have to know about medical evacuation (medevac):
Medical evacuation is moving a sick or injured person to another place when they cannot get the necessary treatment locally.
The price of medical evacuation changes depending on different factors.
In the case of medical evacuation, air ambulance flights, and commercial medical escorts are also available as part of MTI 24/7’s Bed-to-Bed service.
We have a global fleet of air ambulances with trained medical staff and state-of-the-art medical equipment.
Patients can book a medical evacuation flight by contacting our team by email, phone, or through the contact form on our website.
What is medical evacuation?
Medical evacuation refers to the process of moving a patient who is ill or injured to a different location for critical treatment or procedures that could save their life or limb. You generally must be relocated if the required medical care or diagnosis is locally unavailable. The journey could be to a different region, state, or country.
How much does medical evacuation cost?
If you are thinking about a medevac, you might be curious about how much it costs. At MTI 24/7, we do not have a standard quote for our medical evacuation service since each mission is unique. We create a personalized quotation for you based on various factors, including:
Flight route: The cost of a short-haul medical flight is lower than a long-haul medical flight.
Patient’s health: The need for specialized equipment or sea-level flights might impact on the price.
Number of accompanying persons: You can generally fly with one friend or family member for free.
Request urgency: If you need to fly out quickly, we might have to use an ambulance aircraft located further away from your location.
International medical evacuation insurance: will it cover the costs?
What is medical evacuation insurance and do you need it? Depending on your policy, your travel insurance may include overseas medical evacuation insurance. However, you should always read the fine print of your contracts. If your attending physician determines that a medevac is medically necessary, the cost of the evacuation may be covered by your insurance company. If you are going on an extreme sports trip, have a pre-existing medical condition, or plan to travel to a remote area, investing in medical evacuation coverage can save you money if you encounter a medical emergency.

Our patient transport options for medical evacuation
MTI 24/7 offers different options to transport you to and from healthcare facilities. Your medical evacuation can take place by air ambulance or on a commercial airliner. Through our Bed-to-Bed service, we aim to make your patient transfer as smooth as possible.
Air ambulance service, for patients in need of intensive care
MTI 24/7 operates a fleet of air ambulances, capable of transporting patients requiring intensive care over both short and long distances. Our aircraft are strategically stationed worldwide, ensuring swift response times for medical evacuations. Each of our medical flights is deployed with a team of trained medical professionals and cutting-edge ICU equipment to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the journey. We can usually customize our equipment to meet specific healthcare needs, including adding specialized items such as isolation units or pediatric incubators (child transportation). Additionally, we adjust cabin pressure to minimize adverse effects on patients who may not tolerate air pressure changes during air travel (sea-level flights).
Medical escort service, a cheap alternative for stable patients
Once your health has stabilized, you can choose our commercial medical escort service. This service allows you to travel safely on a scheduled airliner. MTI 24/7 ensures that a trained nurse or paramedic accompanies you throughout the journey, providing continuous support and necessary medical assistance, including monitoring your health and administering medication as needed. Opting for this affordable alternative to air ambulance transport provides peace of mind, knowing that any mid-flight issues will be promptly addressed. This patient transport solution is suitable whether you can remain seated throughout the flight or need to lie down on a stretcher.
Bed-to-Bed service for a seamless patient transfer
Minimize your stress during this challenging time with MTI 24/7's Bed-to-Bed service. In addition to handling the logistics of your air ambulance or commercial medical flight, we will arrange for ground transportation. An ambulance will transport you directly from your healthcare facility or home to the airport, with another waiting at your destination to ensure a smooth transfer. This service ensures a seamless patient transfer, as you will be attended to by the same medical team throughout the entire journey.
