A new non-emergency medical escort service connecting North America with Southeast Asia has been launched by RN MEDFLIGHTS LLC, a veteran-owned company based in San Antonio, Texas. This service offers a cost-effective and reliable alternative for medically stable patients traveling between the United States, Canada, Thailand, and the Philippines. Licensed registered nurses accompany patients on commercial flights, providing continuous care and assistance with travel logistics from departure to arrival, making it a practical option for those who do not need emergency medical services during their journey.
RN MEDFLIGHTS provides a comprehensive medical escort service, which includes door-to-door, bed-to-bed coordination. The service covers ground transportation to and from airports, in-flight care by a registered nurse, and coordination with the receiving care facilities or families. This option is particularly beneficial for elderly travelers, post-surgical patients, or individuals with mobility issues or dementia, ensuring they receive the necessary clinical supervision during extensive travel. For cases where patients cannot remain seated throughout a flight, the company can explore international stretcher transport options on select airlines.
The service is tailored for long-distance travel, often exceeding 20 hours, and requires meticulous planning. RN MEDFLIGHTS addresses every aspect of the journey, from reviewing the patient’s medical condition and medications to selecting suitable airlines and coordinating rest stops. The company works closely with medical teams in both the departure and arrival locations to ensure seamless transitions and continuity of care. Their coordination extends to hospitals and discharge planners in Thailand and the Philippines, further facilitating smooth patient transfers.
According to Marc Brinsley, founder and CEO of RN MEDFLIGHTS, the high costs associated with dedicated air ambulances make them inaccessible for most families when traveling such long distances. The company’s services provide an affordable alternative, with nurses managing all aspects of the journey, including medications, oxygen needs, and patient comfort, from start to finish. RN MEDFLIGHTS also offers financial solutions, including 0% financing options for eligible customers, to help manage the costs of medical transportation between North America and Southeast Asia.
