Expanded International Air Ambulance Service and Medical Flights Now Available from Aeromedevac
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- Aeromedevac, one of the world’s premier air ambulance providers for more than 20 years, has expanded its international service to Mexico in order to provide medical flights to United States medical facilities for patients who are injured or ill south of the border. American travelers in Mexico who are in need of medical care in U.S. facilities can call upon Aeromedevac to transport them in comfort in a fixed wing aircraft fully equipped with all necessary medical equipment and overseen by highly qualified medical personnel to tend to the patient’s every need.
Aeromedevac handles every detail in transporting patients from bed-to-bed to their U.S. destination, including handling all necessary paperwork, arranging for ground transportation at both ends of the trip, and even accommodating any family members or others who need to accompany the patient at no cost, when medically appropriate. As an added convenience, complete details and price quotations can be made on line at http://www.aeromedevac.com.
Each plane in Aeromedevac’s fleet is equipped similarly to an intensive care unit/emergency room, allowing specialized crews of registered nurses and critical care paramedics or other medical personnel to facilitate care for patients in need of urgent treatment, including organ transplants, cancer treatments, specialized surgery, burn care, advanced head trauma and spinal injuries, and other serious conditions that require expedited medial air ambulance transportation.
All planes are multi-engine, climate-controlled and pressurized fixed-wing aircraft. Aeromedevac's fleet also includes specially designed non-pressurized rotor-wings (for special events only) that are specifically configured for providing critical care and advanced life support, including state of the art transport ventilators, infusion pumps, cardiac monitors, noninvasive monitoring, and an expanded drug inventory. Aircraft also feature aero-med stretcher systems, built in suction, oxygen and inverter, Drager Ventilators, ProPac Monitors, MiniMed Infusion Pumps, 2011 M-Series Defibulators, an extensive drug and medical supply inventory, and a team of one flight registered nurse and one flight paramedic.
In addition to the security of having personalized air ambulance service, the privacy of all patients being transported is guaranteed. Areomedevac adheres to all aspects of the Department of Health and Human Service’s Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), which dictates the medical information privacy practices that health care organizations and their partners are obligated to follow. Aeromedevac also guarantees that all physicians, medical facilities, and service and care providers adhere to the HIPAA privacy regulations as well.
Aeromedevac also actively works with many U.S. consulates and hospitals to provide medical air ambulance service when needed in the repatriation of foreign nationals to their homelands in cases where patients who are not U.S. citizens are injured or ill but do not have the proper paperwork to stay in the U.S. Aeromedevac works as a liaison between medical facilities and consulates to arrange for the international transportation of these foreign national patients to facilities in their home countries. “We assist in this process by helping the hospital in filing the proper paperwork with the Consulate by contacting the receiving facility and negotiating for the receiving of the patient,” Dain Pulis, Aeromedevac’s director of patient benefits, explained.
Aeromedevac, a leader in the international air ambulance field, is a founding member of the International Air Ambulance Alliance-Fixed Wing (IAAA), recognized for raising international professional standards of air ambulance providers while creating transparency for insurers, medical assistance companies and individual clients of air ambulance services. It is also accredited by the European Aero-Medical Institute, the top accreditation body for U.S. and European air medical evacuation providers.
A staff of friendly and experienced case manager flight coordinators is available 24/7. Initial telephone consultation with expert mult-lingual medical staff works closely with the treating physician to enable Aeromedevac’s team to relay up-to-date information to family members and the destination hospital in the U.S. The staff also oversees coordination of ground ambulance transportation, in which a crew arrives at the patient's bedside and begins the continuous monitoring and care of the individual, every step of the way, to any medical facility in the world.
