Cost of Air Ambulance Services

At EMSOS Medical, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique, and so are the circumstances of their transfer. The cost of our air ambulance services varies based on several factors, ensuring that you receive a tailored solution that meets your specific requirements. Below are the key factors that influence the cost:

Factors Influencing the Cost:

Type of Aircraft

• Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance : Typically, more expensive due to the advanced medical equipment onboard and the capability for long-distance travel.
• Helicopter Air Ambulance : Generally, more affordable for short-distance transfers or when the patient needs to be quickly moved to a nearby facility.
• Commercial Airline Stretcher Service : A cost-effective option for stable patients requiring medical supervision on a commercial flight.

Distance of Transfer

• The distance between the pick-up location and the destination is a significant factor in determining the cost. Longer distances, especially international transfers, generally incur higher costs.

Medical Team and Equipment

• The complexity of the patient’s medical needs and the level of care required during the transfer can affect the cost. Specialized medical teams, such as those needed for neonatal, pediatric, or critical care patients, as well as specialized equipment, may increase the overall cost.

Urgency

• Emergency transfers requiring immediate dispatch can sometimes involve higher costs due to the logistics involved in quickly mobilizing the aircraft and medical team.

Landing and Logistical Fees

• Additional fees may be incurred for landing rights, airport handling, ground ambulance services, and any necessary permits, especially for international transfers.
