Medical Air Transportation / Medical Flight Resources:
Medical Air Transportation
Medical Aid
Medical Travel Insurance
During a medical crisis, it is imperative to receive the highest quality rapid response medical transportation. Time and quality of care are essential and can
supersede concerns for medical costs and/or medical insurance coverage for some patients. However, medical air transportation via a flight on a Lear jet can be unobtainable in many cases. These medical flights, no matter their importance, can be out of reach and cost prohibitive. However, there are organizations that specialize in providing this high level of medical air transportation via a charitable means. They provide high quality medical flights as a mission and might be the best option for patients located far away from the high quality medical care that they need.
A few of these types of medical transportation organizations are listed in this guide:
Angel Flight -- When only an Angel can help.
Angel Flight SE flies critically ill patients, transplant patients or anyone who needs treatment at distant medical facilities, free of charge. Angel Flight SE is a Volunteer Pilots Organization (VPO) serving five Southeastern states.
