After giving you all the information on our services, there are some important questions you need to consider before a final decision is made. Are we the best service available for you? How do you make an informed choice? The following list of questions should be factored in to determine which company provides the services you will use; which will impact the costs associated with them, and how to qualify the flight to meet the client needs.
• How many
health team members go with on the flight and what are
their qualifications?
• Do they coordinate all aspects of the transport from bedside to bedside?
• What type of aircraft is being utilized and how long will the
transport take using
this particular plane?
• How many stops will this plane need to make along the planned route
of travel?
• Does Insurance cover this?
• Can family members fly with at no extra cost?
• What types of medical services does the client need?
• What certification and licensure does the company hold?
• What state is the company licensed in?
• What standard medical equipment, medications and supplies are carried?
Understand that the FAA regulates all aircraft but doesn't mandate
standards for medical equipment and medical personnel. Some states
don't regulate air ambulance services that fly across state lines.
Therefore, some air ambulance services can fly without any state
licensure. Also, remember that medical care regulation is the responsibility
of the individual state that licenses ambulance services, so the
level of regulation and quality monitoring can vary considerably.
