Specialty Care Transports

Global Reach Medical has the experience and expertise to arrange air ambulance specialty care transports for patients suffering virtually any medical condition or traumatic injury. We have arranged transport of patients with severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, organ transplant recipients, cardiomyopathy, cancer, and a myriad of other medical and traumatic conditions, including bariatric air ambulance patients. We are also able to arrange transport of patients of any age, from infants and pediatric cases all the way through advanced age.

Medical Repatriation

Unfortunately, it is not unusual for travelers and employees working abroad to require repatriation by air medical transportation after experiencing injury or illness. Patients who have this experience abroad usually return to their country of origin to ensure they are receiving the best possible care from in-network providers. The second type of repatriation patient is one who is returning to obtain further rehabilitation services or recovery at home with loved ones. We can make all the necessary arrangements to facilitate a safe and quick transport, including sea level air ambulance services.

Bariatric Patients

Bariatric patients are a specialty population and every request for bariatric air ambulance transport is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to make sure that the transport can be performed in a safe manner. This includes obtaining measurements of height and girth so that the appropriate mode of transport is determined for the patient.

We can arrange for safe air transportation on a 24-hour notice. Provision for capable ground ambulance to assist with bariatric patient transfer to and from facilities is also available.     

Sea Level Flights

If a patient cannot tolerate the change in atmospheric pressure, medical planes can operate sea level flights. Before a flight, the transporting medical team will review a patient’s medical records and assess their current condition to decide whether a flight at sea level is advisable.

In case a sea level flight is needed, they will take the necessary steps to ensure the patient's safety after takeoff and at altitude above sea level. The team will ensure that the plane cabin will be pressurized during the flight so that the barometric pressure is similar to ground levels.

Emergency and Hospital Bed Admission

Hospital Bed Find & Admission

For individuals that become ill or injured while away from home, our Repatriation Specialists can ensure a comprehensive placement. Prior to a patient being repatriated home, a prearranged admission bed and an accepting receiving physician are required. 

To obtain the proper type of bed, at an appropriate facility, our hospital bed find service carefully assesses the patient's current care requirements. This includes communicating with treating physicians, assessing patient needs like treatment planning, definitive care requirements, specialty care equipment, and isolation precautions.                        

Insurance Claims

Global Reach Medical works closely with all major insurance companies to determine coverage and identify benefits and/or exclusions. Coverage is usually dependent on transport to the nearest appropriate hospital and medical necessity for an air ambulance. From pre-authorization, to obtaining a physician certificate of medical necessity for air ambulance transport, to air ambulance insurance claims submission, to claim denial appeal, we work hard to limit your final out-of-pocket expenses. 

Air ambulance services typically require payment before transportation can take place. If your insurance plan is unable to guarantee payment prior to aircraft dispatch, an upfront retainer is required.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Jennifer who was my Medical Escort from Costa Rica back home to California. After finally going through with the whole medical tourism thing I had successful surgery. However, I was not comfortable traveling back home alone, especially because I needed more pain meds than originally thought. Also, I needed help ambulating to prevent a blood clot. Thank you very much!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

We utilized your services to fly my wife from Sarasota, Florida to obtain a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. As you can imagine we were both under a lot of stress. But the folks at Global Reach Medical were very professional, sympathetic, and comforting. They were even able to get her insurance to pre-authorize the air ambulance trip. We cannot thank you enough. Best regards.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

As you may remember my father had dual citizenship in China and USA. He split his time in both places to oversee our family business. When he became gravely ill while in Beijing, we utilized your company to coordinate an air ambulance to fly him to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Thank you for letting me travel with him. It was a long flight, but the pilots and medical crew were amazing. True professionals.
