Our Services

Which Transport is Right

In some cases the individual requiring a medical evacuation is not in any condition to evaluate his or her transport needs. The experienced and medically trained staff at Trinity Air Ambulance International is available 24/7/365 to guide you in making the right decision regarding your transportation needs.

The following items are key components in determining the appropriate Transport service that is right for you:

• The Condition of the Patient is the most important aspect in deciding which method of transportation is required. An emergency medical evacuation, Medevac, flight is required when the patient is seriously ill or has injuries that require medial treatment throughout the transport. This care is administered by our in-flight Doctors, Nurses and Critical Care Paramedics. We also offer Commercial Airline Escorts for patients who are more medically stable and capable of flying commercially. Our Medical Escorts are there to assist in the total care of the patient. From administering medications and oxygen to mobility assistance and support, our Medial Escorts will ensure the patient’s transport is completely comfortable.

• The Mode of transport and the Distance traveled are the two main factors in determining cost. The distance traveled depends on the client’s location and condition. Should immediate treatment be required, we can arrange admissions and transport to International facilities closest to the patient or to the closest appropriate medical facility upon entering the U.S. If the client is medically stable and wishes to be transported and received at another facility, i.e. one closer to their home, we will accommodate for this request. The mode of transport may be via a private jet, commercial airline, helicopter, train, watercraft, ground ambulance, etc. Is the patient medically fit-to-fly with a Medical Escort on a commercial flight? Can the patient tolerate long ground transports? Will a helicopter or watercraft be required to transport the patient? Will the client require an immediate Medevac flight by means of a private jet due to his or her level of acuity and time constraints? All of these questions will be answered in determining the most appropriate mode of transport(s) required.

• Availability- What is available at the patient’s location? In some remote locations, commercial airline flights may not exist or may be time prohibitive. What is the driving distance from the hospital to the airport? Is the runway length too short for jet aircraft to land? Can the cruise ship dock at the next closest port of call? We can coordinate under all conditions to expedite each transport in the most safe and timely manner.

• Companions- At times it may be more cost effective to fly in a private aircraft rather than commercially when there are a number of companions traveling with the patient. Depending on the number of companions, the cost of last minute commercial airline tickets can add up. For instance, the Learjet 35A can accommodate up to 4 additional companions at no extra cost.

Let the experienced team of Trinity Air Ambulance International help you in making those critical decisions when transporting a loved one who is in need.

Medical Escort Services

Commercial Airline

Not every patient requires a private jet Air Ambulance transport. There are situations when the client is medically fit-to-fly via a commercial airline with the assistance of a Medical Escort. There are considerable savings when using commercially available flights in these situations.

Our medical staff is ready to assist those who need a little extra help when flying on commercial airlines. Trinity Medical Escorts will monitor the patient’s medical condition and comfort during the entire transport process. We have the experience and working knowledge required to make all flight and transportation arrangements. From wheelchair and ground transportation, to ticketing and portable oxygen, Trinity will take care of every detail to make each trip easy and comfortable.

Some typical scenarios for Medical Escorts:

• Mobility Assistance: wheelchair and assistance to and from seats and flight connections.
• Assistance with supplemental oxygen and administering of medications.
• Assistance with self-care and logistics – on the aircraft and between flights.

Some patients may require a medical clearance by the commercial airline’s medical department. Trinity Air Ambulance can facilitate with the paperwork needed for the patient’s clearance. Trinity carries its own airline approved Portable Oxygen Concentrator, thus eliminating the need for bottled oxygen on and between flights. Having the portable oxygen concentrator will expedite your trip as some commercial airlines require an additional 48 to 72 hours to arrange for their portable oxygen supplies; and airlines do not offer bottled oxygen in between flight connections.

Trinity Air Ambulance Medial Escort services offer:

• Experienced, professional, courteous staff to make all flight and ground arrangements.
• Experienced Medical Escorts to take care of all your medical needs. (U.S. Licensed)
• State-of-the-art medical equipment, approved for airline use.
• 24/7/365 availability.
• Concierge services to arrange for airline ticketing, luggage handling, wheelchairs, healthcare facility coordination, home health care, physician consultations and hospital admissions.

Non-medical Flight Escorts are available for those unable to travel commercially without assistance. These Flight Escorts are available for clients who need a companion’s helping hand.

Claims Management

Negotiation and Contracting

Trinity Air Ambulance International always has the best interests of our clients at heart. Unexpected medical care while traveling can incur a huge financial burden to anyone. When this occurs, the patient and family will quickly come across new terms, such as ‘out of network’ and ‘out of pocket,’ as well as the fact that some health insurance plans do not cover any ‘out of country’ medical expenses.

Trinity Air Ambulance can help. By negotiating costs for medical services, both within the United States and internationally, we can work to reduce your costs. Trinity has long-standing relationships with many health care facilities in the U.S. and Internationally. Together we will work to minimize our clients out of pocket expenses.

Claim Processing

• Audits are completed within an average of 10 days from the date the bill is received.

Our extensive medical experience allows us to audit all billing in detail to ensure:

-There are no duplicate charges.
-Charges are appropriate to the patient’s diagnosis.
-Unbundling – a precise breakdown of grouped charges.

• The Case Management Team continually reviews all treatment plans and billing to ensure the accuracy of all charges, reviewing invoices to determine unwarranted treatment and billing, therefore, recovering monies from overcharges.

Through our working relationships and experience, Trinity can assist in reducing your medical costs!
