The Growth of Air Medicine
Air medicine has become a healthcare safety net and the go-to protocol
for major trauma, stroke and heart services. When time-to-treatment is of
the essence for survival and full recovery, the life-saving potential of even
the best local emergency medical services increases dramatically when
combined with air medical transport.
The possibility of injury or serious illness requiring air medical transport
is real*… on a rural highway… an out-of-town trip… an international
vacation… a rush-hour accident… even a heart incident or stroke in your
own hometown. Any of these situations can require air medical transport.
Hospital-to-hospital transfers for specialized trauma, heart, or stroke
services are also becoming more and more common.
WHEREVER YOU
YOU’LL FEEL SA
WITH MEDFLIGH
An out-of-town hospitalization due to illness or injury can leave a
family member alone and stranded far from home. Parents, partners,
brothers, sisters, or other family members will need to make hasty and
expensive travel arrangements to be with the hospitalized family member.
MedFlight Advantage and MedFlight Advantage Global memberships
help alleviate this stress by getting the patient back to your hometown
or doctor-recommended hospital.
*The Association of Air Medical Services estimates over 400,000 air medical transports
per year in the United States.

The MedFlight Advantage: Excellence in Air & Ground Medical Transport
When you join MedFlight Advantage you provide you and your family
with another layer of protection. But you also become a member of
Ohio’s most established, professional and comprehensive medical
transport organization.
MedFlight is a non-profit organization governed by our nationallyrecognized member hospitals: Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State
University, OhioHealth Hospitals, and Akron General Medical Center.
MedFlight crewmembers have immediate access to the best emergency
medical physicians at our member hospitals, and our vehicles and crews
are monitored by and in continuous radio contact with our regional
communications and dispatch center.
Only the most experienced and highly-trained emergency medical nurses,
paramedics, and pilots can become part of a MedFlight crew. MedFlight’s
internal training and continuing education programs are at the leading
edge of critical care medical transport.
MedFlight’s state-of-the-art transport fleet includes new, custom-designed
EC 130 medical helicopters, ground-based mobile intensive care units
(MICUs), and MedCare ambulances. These vehicles are equipped with
the latest mobile medical technologies and adhere to NTSB (National
Transportation Safety Board) guidelines.
MedFlight is a founding member of The Center for Medical Transport
Research, a member of the Association of Air Medical Services, and
is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical
Transport Systems.
MedCare Ambulance is a subsidiary of MedFlight and adheres to the
same high standards of professionalism and quality care. MedCare
provides advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS)
services throughout Ohio. Like MedFlight, MedCare is a non-profit
organization that re-invests in resources that provide the best care for
patients. MedCare Ambulance is accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS), and ranks among the
top five percent of all ambulance operators nationwide.
National and international air medical services are provided by our
medical airplane partners at AirMed. AirMed has been chosen by the
top hospitals in the world, is a contracted carrier for the US Department
of Defense, and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of
Medical Transport Systems.
AirMed physicians, nurses and paramedics are trained to deal with
high-altitude transport, which can make a critical difference in quality
of care. Depending on the specific needs of the patient, AirMed crews
may also include physicians and nurses with experience in neonatal,
pediatric or adult medical specialties.
AirMed provides ground transport between hospitals and airports and
also provides other services specific to international travel, including
foreign travel advisories, threat assessments and travel document
processing. If a program member passes away more than 150 miles from
the primary residence, AirMed will arrange and pay for all government
authorizations and provide appropriate transport to the member’s
hometown for funeral services.
CHOOSE
ONE OF TWO
PLANS…
MedFlight Advantage Global: Across the Country, Around the World…
MedFlight Advantage Global benefits activate whenever you roam more
than 150 miles from home.* MedFlight Advantage Global’s national and
international air medical services are provided by our medical airplane
partners at AirMed. Like MedFlight, AirMed selects only state-of-the-art
equipment and highly-trained crews. AirMed provides unparalleled
bedside-to-bedside medical transportation on a worldwide basis.
An international air medical evacuation can cost upwards of $200,000.
Depending on your insurance coverage, you could be responsible for a
significant portion of that cost. Additionally, bureaucratic red tape and
travel documentation can cause unnecessary delays that impact quality
of care and patient outcome and recovery.
Your MedFlight Advantage Global membership covers all of your AirMed
medical transport costs. AirMed also expedites local ground transport
and travel documentation processes with the experience that comes from
completing over 18,000 missions.
Your MedFlight Advantage Global benefits get you back home to your
local healthcare system as quickly as possible while providing the highest
quality care and comfort en route. MedFlight Advantage Global members
also receive all the local benefits of the MedFlight Advantage program.
