Flight Coordination Request
Give a coordinator the clinical picture and the two endpoints, and you will get back real options: aircraft type, crew configuration, timing window, and cost. If the transfer is time-critical, call (800) 327-3004 instead of waiting on the form.
What we need to price a mission accurately
Distance sets the floor, but it rarely sets the final number. Aircraft type, crew composition, oxygen and ventilator requirements, ground ambulance legs at both ends, departure timing, and destination airport access all move the figure. A patient who needs a respiratory therapist and a ventilator prices differently from a patient who can travel seated with a nurse escort on a scheduled airline.
Insurance sometimes participates, particularly when the sending physician documents medical necessity and the destination offers care unavailable locally. We will tell you plainly whether that path is realistic in your case rather than encouraging a claim that will not pay.
