Medical Escorts - An Affordable Alternative

Not all medical patients need an air ambulance, and considerable savings can be made, even if the patient requires oxygen or a stretcher, using scheduled airplane flights with medical escorts - except where much life support is required. Some companies specialize in this, and they help many patients, insured or privately funded, cut the costs that can be involved in this kind of emergency, especially when an air ambulance would otherwise be required instead of using a medical escort.

Patients on stretchers or needing oxygen or even basic life support, can often be safely moved by commercial airplane with a doctor or nurse as a medical escort. This alone can help the customer to avoid huge medical bills. It takes the proper expertise to make the necessary medical assessment in conjunction with the local medical director to decide if a medical escort is indeed a viable option. Insurance companies also prefer medical escorts when injuries are not life threatening. Medical escorts are often a very affordable alternative
