Why choose MTI 24/7 for your international medical transport needs?
We offer global air medical transport services to Americans facing health emergencies abroad, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and experienced medical crews.
We handle a wide range of critical situations, including traumatic injuries, acute medical emergencies, life-threatening illnesses, and pediatric/neonatal emergencies.
Our services include medical repatriation (bringing patients back to the US) and medical evacuation (transporting patients to facilities outside the US for specialized treatment or medical tourism).
The costs of our US air ambulances vary based on factors such as distance, medical complexity, urgency, and additional services required, with personalized quotes provided for each patient's unique needs.
What is an air ambulance?
Often described as a flying intensive care unit, an air ambulance is a meticulously designed aircraft that transports patients who require medical treatment and monitoring while in transit, usually between two medical facilities.
MTI 24/7's fleet of modern ambulance planes is defined by three important features:
Multidisciplinary medical crew: Our multidisciplinary medical staff includes physicians, nurses, and paramedics who are carefully selected to meet the patient's specific needs.
Cutting-edge medical equipment: Our aircraft are equipped with advanced medical technology, including specialized setups for neonatal or cardiac care, ensuring we can handle any medical emergency in the sky.
Sea-level flights: The cabin pressure in our aircraft can be adjusted through technical measures, providing a safer and more comfortable travel for patients with respiratory or cardiovascular disorders and reducing the chance of complications.
What medical conditions necessitate a US air ambulance?
A US air ambulance is typically required for patients with critical or life-threatening conditions where specialized medical transport is necessary. These situations often include traumatic injuries, acute emergencies, life-threatening illnesses, and pediatric or neonatal crises.
Medical conditions requiring a US Air Ambulance
Traumatic injuries: Car accidents, severe burns, falls from heights, industrial accidents, swimming/diving injuries.
Acute medical emergencies: Heart attacks, strokes, ARDS, diabetic ketoacidosis, pulmonary embolism, meningitis.
Life-threatening illnesses: Advanced cancer, end-stage renal disease, severe COPD, cystic fibrosis, ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s.
Pediatric/neonatal emergencies: Premature birth, congenital heart defects, pediatric cancer, severe asthma, seizures.
Can Medical Transport International 24/7’s US air ambulance fly worldwide?
Yes! Our extensive global network and diverse fleet, which includes big air ambulance planes as well as smaller aircraft, enable us to reach patients in both bustling urban centers and the most remote areas of the world. Whether you are in a major city or on a distant island, our experienced pilots and medical teams are ready to overcome any obstacle to provide the international patient transportation services you need.
We can assist you with:
Medical repatriation: If you become ill or injured while traveling abroad, our team works tirelessly to ensure a safe and comfortable journey back home (e.g., to the US) for further treatment and recovery.
Medical evacuation: Often referred to as medevac, this service provides emergency transportation for patients requiring critical care. It's used in situations of severe illness or injury or when local medical facilities are insufficient to meet the patient's needs.
We are also here to support you if you are considering traveling for medical tourism. Many American patients seek treatment abroad in countries like Thailand for dental procedures, cosmetic surgeries, and wellness therapies; Malaysia for orthopedic surgeries, heart operations, and fertility treatments; and India, Costa Rica, and Mexico for a range of surgical options.
How much does a US air ambulance cost?
At MTI 24/7, we recognize that each patient's journey is unique. Rather than offering standardized pricing, our team provides personalized quotes based on your specific needs, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
Several key factors influence the cost of your US air ambulance flight:
Distance: The longer the flight, the higher the cost, as more fuel, crew hours, and resources are required.
Medical complexity: The level of medical care required during the flight, such as the need for specialized equipment, medications, or additional medical personnel, can impact the overall cost.
Timing: Urgent or last-minute requests may incur additional expenses owing to the necessity for faster planning and resource allocation.
Additional services: The cost of ground ambulances or other medical services required for airport transfers is typically included in the overall price.
Does Medicare cover the cost of a US air ambulance?
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) may cover the cost of an air ambulance flight if it is deemed medically necessary and ground transportation would put the patient's health at risk. This typically applies when:
The patient's location is inaccessible or difficult to reach by ground transportation.
The patient's condition demands immediate and rapid transport that ground ambulance cannot provide.
However, Medicare coverage is not guaranteed in all situations. For instance, if the patient is transported to a facility that is not the nearest one equipped to provide the necessary care, Medicare may not cover the cost.
Important: Even if Medicare covers the air ambulance transportation, the patient may still be liable for co-payments, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
