Urgent and Planned Air Ambulance

Medical Flights Built Around the Patient and Route

Submit one request for independent-provider review. AirMedHub records the request, alerts relevant providers through its internal portal, and organizes any quotes they choose to submit.

What We Do

Air Ambulance
Coordination,
Not Operation

A medical flight can require an aircraft operator, transport medical provider, ground ambulances, two facilities, records, and financial authorization. AirMedHub gives the request one coordination point while keeping each responsible organization identifiable.

After AirMedHub receives and records a request, its internal portal can alert relevant independent providers. Each provider decides whether to review the mission and submit its own quote. AirMedHub organizes the quote or quotes received for customer review.

A provider alert is not clinical acceptance, aircraft assignment, confirmed availability, or a quote. The transport medical provider decides clinical acceptance and the care plan. The direct carrier controls the aircraft operation.

AirMedHub does not own or operate aircraft and is not emergency dispatch. For an immediate medical emergency, call 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.

Patient and Mission Requests

Cases Independent Providers
May Be Asked to Review

These categories describe request types, not guaranteed provider capabilities. Each responding provider determines whether it can accept the patient and proposed mission.

Critical-Care Transfer

A provider may review a hospital-to-hospital request involving ongoing monitoring, medications, oxygen, ventilation, or other accepted support. Read the critical care planning guide.

Ventilator and Respiratory Support

The transport medical provider reviews the airway, ventilator, oxygen, power, monitoring, medication, and contingency requirements. See ventilator patient air transport.

Neonatal and Pediatric Requests

These cases require age-specific provider review, personnel, equipment, protocols, aircraft compatibility, and case acceptance. Read the neonatal and pediatric request guide.

Burn and Specialty-Center Transfer

A request may involve transfer to a receiving specialty facility after the treating teams, receiving facility, and transport provider address the required care and handoffs.

Long-Distance or Limited-Access Route

Aircraft type depends on distance, airport or landing access, ground connections, patient needs, operating conditions, and provider availability.

Transplant-Related Request

A provider may be asked to review time-sensitive transportation involving a patient, candidate, medical team, or organ. Start with the transplant-related transport guide.

Mission-Specific Configuration

The Provider Defines
the Medical Plan

The transport medical provider reviews current information and proposes the clinicians, equipment, supplies, oxygen, medications, and reserves for the accepted case. Not every flight carries the same configuration.

  • Monitoring, airway, oxygen, or ventilation equipment when included in the accepted plan
  • Infusion devices, medications, and supplies selected by the responsible medical provider
  • Medical personnel whose roles and credentials fit the provider's accepted transport scope
  • Specialty personnel only when proposed and confirmed for the specific mission
  • Aircraft compatibility, securement, power, oxygen, loading, and usable cabin access reviewed for the case
Aircraft Types
Rotor-Wing
Helicopters for regional transport, scene calls, and hospital transfers when landing access and operating conditions permit.
Fixed-Wing
Turboprop and jet aircraft for airport-to-airport regional and long-distance transport, usually with ground connections at both ends.
Long-Range Jet
Some longer routes may require a jet, fuel planning, additional crew considerations, international permissions, or another aircraft plan proposed by the operator.
The Process

How the Request and
Quote Process Works

AirMedHub records the received request, alerts relevant providers, organizes any submitted quotes, and coordinates an accepted itinerary within the written scope. A quote is not guaranteed.

Contact Us

Call or submit a request online with the patient location, destination, current situation, and requested timing. A coordinator can identify what else is needed for provider review.

Provider Alerts and Review

The internal portal alerts relevant providers. Each company decides whether to review the request and controls its own clinical, operational, availability, and pricing decisions.

Review Quotes Received

AirMedHub organizes the quote or quotes received. Review the named carrier and medical provider, aircraft, medical plan, route, timing assumptions, price, exclusions, and terms.

Authorize and Coordinate

After customer authorization, AirMedHub coordinates the accepted itinerary within its written scope. Each named provider remains responsible for the service and decisions it controls.
