Medical Repatriation

Travelers and employees working abroad often need air medical transport for international repatriation after injury, illness, or trauma. Global Reach Medical ensures an expedient return by arranging the proper receiving facility, care requirements, and transport mode, such as air ambulance, medical escort, or international commercial airline stretcher with medical staff.

Unfortunately, it is not unusual for travelers and employees working abroad to require international medical repatriation to their country of origin by air medical transport after experiencing injury, illness, or trauma. 

Our team ensures the proper receiving facility, care requirements, and transport mode are arranged for an expedient return, fulfilling the employer duty of care. Transport options include air ambulance, medical escort on commercial airline, and international commercial airline stretcher with medical staff. Our experienced Repatriation Specialists are committed to advocating each patient’s needs to ensure the proper receiving facility, physician, and care requirements are obtained for every patient. 

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. For injured employee medical transportation, we handle all logistics to provide a safe and efficient return.
Our team collaborates to ensure a comprehensive placement and expedient return, including employee medical repatriation. Before a patient can be repatriated, if it is determined that they will require on-going medical attention at a facility, a prearranged admission bed and accepting physician must be planned in advance. 

To ensure the continuity of care and obtain a suitable type of bed at an appropriate facility, the patient’s current medical condition and requirements are assessed carefully by our Repatriation Specialists. This includes communicating with treating physicians, assessing patient needs like treatment planning, definitive care requirements, specialty care equipment, and isolation precautions. Furthermore, it allows us to maximize the quality of patient care. 

Our experienced Repatriation Specialists are committed to advocating each patient’s needs to ensure the proper receiving facility, physician, and care requirements are obtained for every patient. Our clients are provided with ongoing status updates, and we ensure that each case is handled with the highest level of professionalism. This includes managing workers compensation medical transportation and employee repatriation to ensure a seamless and efficient process.

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, the patient's current care requirements are assessed carefully by our Repatriation Specialists. This includes communicating with treating physicians, assessing patient needs like treatment planning, definitive care requirements, specialty care equipment, and isolation precautions. 

Native Language Barriers

Language can be a barrier in a foreign country, making it difficult to speak with the physicians and healthcare staff to understand the patient’s condition and treatment plan. Global Reach Medical works with translators frequently to collect necessary information such as from sending hospitals, allowing us to prepare an international air medical transport quickly. Global Reach Medical also handles any visas required for flights coming in or going out of foreign countries.

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.
