A commercial medical escort is a qualified clinician, such as a flight nurse, physician, or critical-care paramedic, who travels with a patient on a regular scheduled airline. The escort manages medications, oxygen, monitoring, and comfort throughout the journey, providing one-on-one care from the departure hospital all the way to the destination.

An air ambulance is a private aircraft configured as a flying ICU. It is essential for critically unstable patients, but very expensive. A medical escort uses scheduled commercial flights and is appropriate when the patient is stable enough to fly that way. For the right patient, it delivers comparable clinical safety at a fraction of the cost.

A commercial medical escort typically costs from about $7,000 to more than $60,000. The biggest factor is the medical crew the patient needs: one escort with a stable, seated patient is at the lower end, while a physician or additional medical crew moves it toward the top. The route, seating, oxygen and timing matter too. In most cases it's still dramatically less than an air ambulance. Tell us the situation and we'll provide a clear, transparent quote.

Yes, extensively. We've been active members of the leading travel-insurance associations (USTIA and THIA) since 2010 and routinely coordinate directly with insurers, underwriters, and assistance companies to manage and document cases.

We are accredited by both CAMTS and EURAMI. In 2019 we became the first medical escort company to be dual-accredited by EURAMI in both the US and Europe. We also hold active USTIA and THIA memberships, with board representation in the US travel-insurance association.

Worldwide. We're based in Pompano Beach, Florida, and coordinate medical escort and repatriation cases anywhere commercial airlines fly, across borders, languages, and time zones.

The credentialed clinicians who fly CME missions include flight physicians with decades of emergency-medicine experience, flight nurses from cardiac ICU, trauma, and stroke backgrounds, and critical-care paramedics with extensive aeromedical experience.

Yes. Our escorts coordinate airline medical clearance (MEDIF), arrange in-flight oxygen where needed, and manage the patient's medications and monitoring throughout the trip.

Our coordination team is reachable around the clock and we begin working a case as soon as you reach out. Timing then depends on the patient's clinical readiness, airline availability, and any clearances required. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
