What is a life flight?
Life flight refers to the transfer of a patient, from one healthcare facility to another, in an aircraft fitted with cutting-edge equipment and staffed by medical professionals. This type of transport is often lifesaving.
Some medical equipment available onboard our life flight transport include:
Pulse oximeter and blood gas analyzer
Biphasic defibrillator and external pacemaker
Multiparameter intensive transport monitor
12-channel multifunctional ECG
When do you need life flight?
Are you experiencing a medical condition that requires rapid transport to a healthcare facility or do you want to return home to recover in a familiar environment? If you have been denied boarding by a scheduled airliner and time is of the essence, using a ground ambulance is not recommended. What you need is a life flight.
Examples of when you might require life flight include if you are:
A trauma victim
A cancer patient
In need of advanced life support during flight
Injured while participating in sports or other activities
Benefits of life flight over ground ambulance transportation
If you need urgent essential care, you should consider life flight services. This is because an air ambulance can cover vast distances rapidly since it is not affected by poor road infrastructure or traffic situations. You will also experience more comfort during an air ambulance flight than a ride in a ground ambulance. Additionally, people who are transported in an ambulance aircraft following a traumatic accident instead of in a ground ambulance have a higher rate of survival. This is because air ambulances have more medicines, advanced monitoring systems, and equipment.
Patient transport options for life flights
When severely sick or injured, you want to get relief quickly. What are your options if you require air travel for essential medical treatment or procedures? MTI 24/7 offers two categories of aircraft for life flights, specifically fixed-wing (airplanes) and rotary-wing (helicopters). We also offer a medical escort service, for stable patients who wish to fly on a commercial airliner but require medical supervision.
Air ambulance airplanes (fixed-wing aircraft)
Our medical planes are equipped similarly to an intensive care unit (ICU). Our medical crew will be by your side to take care of your medical needs during the flight. Since a life flight airplane can land at both big airports and smaller airfields, we can pick the one closest to your location to reduce the distance and time traveled in a ground ambulance.
Air ambulance helicopters (rotary-wing aircraft)
Our ambulance helicopters can transfer most intensive care patients. This mode of transportation is typically utilized if your target location is accessible via a short-distance flight. Additionally, since a life flight helicopter can take off and land vertically, we can easily reach you if you are in a remote or hard-to-get location.
Commercial medical escort service
Once your medical condition is stable and you are able to fly on a regular airline but need medical supervision and assistance, we can assign a flight nurse or paramedic to accompany you on your commercial flight. The medical professional will be with you every step of the way. They will keep an eye on your health, give you medication, and help if you have any complications. They will also assist you before and after the flight. It is a much cheaper option than air ambulance transportation.
How much does a life flight cost?
There is no fixed cost for our life flights since we provide a personalized service. The price featured on your non-binding quote will be based on various factors including route, health condition, request urgency, and the number of accompanying persons. At MTI 24/7, we pride ourselves on transparency. You can be sure that there will be no hidden cost traps.
Does insurance cover life flights?
When it comes to life flight services, there's no guarantee that your insurance plan will shoulder the expense. The decision will be based on your health condition and whether the treatment or procedure is available locally. It should also be noted that some insurance companies will only pay a portion of the fees and the rest will have to be out-of-pocket. To avoid any inconvenience, you should check with your insurance provider to determine if life flight services are included in your coverage.
