Frequently Asked Questions
Does MedEscort only handle air ambulance transfers?
When appropriate, we prefer to use a commercial airline. However, our primary goal is always to ensure the patient receives the necessary care. If needed, we dispatch an air ambulance and manage end-to-end transfers.
Does MedEscort fly patients who are undocumented?
No, but we can assist in your patient’s re-documentation process. Once an appropriate care facility or family home has been identified in the patient’s country of citizenship, we leverage our global relationship network to efficiently and effectively collaborate with foreign policymakers and/or diplomats, as needed, to secure necessary travel documents.
What if the hospital can’t find family members?
We collaborate with a range of international agencies and have a team of experienced investigators to assist in locating family members.
