Medical transports are a complex and sensitive business. Service providers must be able to navigate both health care and flight regulations, while remaining flexible and adaptive to patients’ changing medical conditions. When a patient is in need of an international medical transport service, the logistical complexities are even greater. Read more to find out why SentinelMED is an expert in international medical transport service.
Relationships with International Airlines
As is the case with most business endeavors, relationships are essential to success. At SentinelMED, we’ve spent years fostering relationships with international airlines. These relationships expedite the medical clearance process and yield cost savings too. This cost savings is ultimately passed on to the hospital or the individual who is absorbing the cost of the international medical transport service.
Experience in Repatriation & Working with Consulates
Often patients, who need international medical transports, do not have the necessary identification or travel documents. SentinelMED is able to help when no current identification or documentation existed for the patient. We have experience working with consulates in efforts to repatriate individuals back to their countries of origin. In some countries, we have done multiple repatriations, so we have existing relationships with these consulates. At other times, SentinelMED has arranged for the consulate staff to see the patient in the hospital to obtain fingerprint documentation and photo identification, and to supply the one-time travel document authorizing passage back to his or her country of origin.
Unique Cost Savings
Cost is always one of the first things people ask about when looking for an international medical transport service. Companies that look for creative solutions to keep costs low clearly have the patient’s best interests in mind. When it comes to international flights, SentinelMED has experience in finding unique routes or flight itineraries that help reduce costs where possible.
