Medical Ground Transport

For some patients, the least stressful and most cost-effective method of transport is medical ground transport. If the patient is not in critical condition and cannot or will not fly, long-distance medical ground transport is a remarkable option. Additionally, non-emergency medical transport provides a cost-saving alternative to air ambulance travel.

We can coordinate several levels of medical ground transport care depending on the patient’s needs.

Basic Life Support ("BLS") Ambulance
Advanced Life Support ("ALS") Ambulance
Specialty Care Ambulance
Bariatric Ambulance
Psychiatric Ambulance
Long-Distance Medical Coach

Patients with the following conditions are ideal candidates for long distance medical ground transport:

Chronic Illness
Psychiatric Conditions
Cancer
Stroke
Chronic Lung and Heart Condition
Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia
Mobility Issues

The type of long distance medical ground transport the patient requires depends on their medical needs and the type of discharge transport the sending facility determines is appropriate.

Ground Ambulance

In most cases, the ambulance level of service depends on the current patient’s condition and medical needs at the time of transport. If your physician orders a discharge that requires on-going medical care until the new destination is reached, then a basic life support, advanced life support, or critical care ambulance may be needed. Global Reach Medical can assist you to determine the level of ambulance required.

Specialty Care Transports

Global Reach Medical has the experience and expertise to arrange ground ambulance transportation of patients suffering virtually any medical condition or traumatic injury.

We can arrange specialty care ambulance services for patients with severe burns, psychiatric conditions, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, organ transplant recipients, cardiomyopathy, cancer, and a myriad of other medical and traumatic conditions.

We are also able to provide critical care ambulance transport for any age patient, beginning with infants and pediatric cases all the way through advanced age.

Long Distance Medical Coach

Non-ambulance transport is the least costly type of transport that we provide. The long distance medical coach is a very good alternative for patients that need comfort care and are unable to sit for long periods of time. It is best for medically stable patients that will most likely not require emergency medical response.

The long distance medical coach is provided with a non-ambulance vehicle so the ride is very comfortable. Care is provided by medical professionals, but the vehicles are not licensed as ambulances.

Bariatric Transports

Patients that are morbidly obese may need to be transported by a bariatric ambulance. Bariatric ambulances have modified equipment to manage an obese patient. Whereas air ambulances are constrained by the size of their cargo doors, bariatric ambulances do not have this restriction and can transport most patients.

Bariatric transports require a specially equipped stretcher and ambulance that is designed to load and safely accommodate most patients who weigh more than 300 pounds or 137kgs.

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.
