Pricing
It is always our goal at U.S. Air Ambulance to provide the highest quality service at the lowest possible cost. Price is determined based primarily upon the medical condition of the patient, because this will determine the type of aircraft or ground transportation that will be utilized, the medical supplies to be included, the medical team to be transported, the destination and the urgency of travel.
Our Flight Coordinators will talk to you about some of these issues and provide a quote over the phone. In non-emergency situations, we will also gladly send you a written quote explaining all services provided. The price quoted to you is the final price – there are no hidden costs.
Listed below are a few of the variables considered when we determine a price for your specific trip. Prices are effective January 2007.
