How much does long distance medical transportation cost?

Costs vary based on distance, level of care needed, and specific requirements. Long distance medical transport typically ranges from $1.50-$3.00 per mile, with total costs depending on the journey length. For an accurate quote tailored to your specific situation, contact our recommended providers directly.

How far in advance should I book transport?

For non-emergency long distance transport, booking 1-2 weeks in advance is recommended to ensure availability and allow time for proper planning. However, both ACC Medlink and CienOne can often accommodate urgent requests with shorter notice.

Can family members ride along during transport?

Yes! One of the major advantages of services like ACC Medlink and CienOne is that they specifically design their vehicles to accommodate family members. ACC Medlink's Mercedes Sprinters can comfortably accommodate multiple family members, while most competitors have limited or no space for companions.

What medical equipment is available during transport?

ACC Medlink vehicles are equipped with hospital-grade monitoring equipment, oxygen, suction, and various other medical devices. Their transports feature comfortable stretchers, advanced monitoring capabilities, and any special equipment required for your loved one's specific needs. CienOne also provides well-equipped medical transport with necessary monitoring systems.

What types of patients can be transported?

Long distance medical transportation is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those who are bed-bound, require oxygen or other medical equipment, have limited mobility, are recovering from surgery or illness, or simply need medical monitoring during travel. Both ACC Medlink and CienOne can accommodate bariatric patients and those with special needs.

When should I choose air medical transport over ground transport?

Air medical transport from Air Critical Care is ideal when timing is critical, when traveling internationally, or when the distance makes ground transport impractical. Consider air transport when a patient needs to be moved quickly across countries or continents, when traveling to or from remote locations, or when the patient's condition requires minimizing travel time.
