Companion & Children
Transportation

SkyMed will allow one person, spouse, family Member, or companion to escort the Member on an emergency medical flight, if space is available, after the needed medical equipment, aircrew, and medical personnel are accommodated. If space is not available, SkyMed will approve and pay for commercial airline transportation for one (1) person to connect with Member at the designated Transport Preference.

Hospital to Hospital
Air Transportation

Air ambulance transportation and onboard medical services needed to move the Member to the Member’s home hospital or to a hospital closer than the Member’s home hospital. The Member’s medical condition must be stabilized for air travel by the Attending Physician at the hospital.
Ground ambulance services between hospitals and airports are included. After the Attending Physician determines and approves the need for Emergency Medical Transport, SkyMed’s Director of Member Services and/or SkyMed’s Medical Director confirms the need in concurrence with the Attending Physician’s orders, and SkyMed will make all arrangements.

Commercial Carrier
Medical Escorts

If a Member’s serious illness or injury does not warrant a private air ambulance (i.e., the Member is approved for commercial aircraft travel by the Attending Physician) yet the Member is not able or permitted to travel alone by commercial air carrier, SkyMed will make arrangements for a Medical Escort to accompany the Member and pay for commercial air flights for the Member and Medical Escort.

Ground Ambulances

When a Member requires ground ambulance transport to the closest appropriate hospital, SkyMed will pay the ground ambulance cost provided the ground ambulance is Medically Necessary. Our fully equipped vehicles are staffed by experienced paramedics and EMTs, ensuring expert care during transport. Whether it’s a short distance or a long haul, we’ll get you to your destination with comfort and care.”
