When A Medical Crisis Strikes, You'll Be Ready.

When time is critical, an AdvoAir membership gets you to the care you need, fast.

When things are at their worst, protect what matters most

Time is critical when facing a medical crisis and when that life-saving care is far from home, medical air transport may be required. But medical flights are expensive and difficult to coordinate, and dealing with your insurance provider can be stressful and overwhelming. With an American Air Assistance membership, all you have to do is make one call, and we take care of the rest.

The benefits of medical air transport, without the cost

A life-threatening illness, organ transplant or other medical crisis strikes nearly every family. And in many cases, the critical care needed is far from home, requiring a flight which can cost upwards of $200,000. American Air Assistance members never have to worry about the flight or the cost – your membership fees go toward your out-of-pocket expenses.

The medical care you need is always within reach

Medical air transport is especially common if you live or travel in rural areas. Many hospitals far from metropolitan centers are not equipped to provide highly specialized treatment and patients needing this care must be transported to facilities often hundreds of miles away. Membership with American Air Assistance means you have the medical transportation you need when a crisis strikes.

Who Needs American Air Assistance?

Richard suffers from liver disease and time is running out.

Richard in Philadelphia, PA suffers from liver disease and is on the liver transplant list. A matched liver donation suddenly becomes available in Chicago, but the medical facility requires that the organ be transplanted within 24 hours by their team, at their hospital. Richard is too weak to take a commercial flight or drive by car. Richard has a membership with American Air Assistance, so he calls us and we call his insurance company. They deem his flight as medically necessary and we deliver him safely to Chicago the next day for the liver transplant.

A medical air transport flight can cost between $50,000 and $200,000 plus.

The cost of transportation between hospitals depends on the flight distance and required medical personnel and equipment. Those without an American Air Assistance membership may be responsible for coinsurance or other type of deductible, which could amount to thousands of dollars out-of-pocket.

Imagine the stress of arranging transportation for yourself or a loved one, then finding out you have to pay that bill.

We speak with your insurance company, secure pre-approvals for flights deemed medically necessary, and take care of scheduling, coordination, medical personnel and safe transfer of the patient between medical facilities. Your membership fee covers any deductibles or coinsurance.
