Mayo Clinic CEO John Noseworthy, MD, told employees in a recent speech that the Rochester, Minn.-based system will "prioritize" patients with private insurance over Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries if the patients have similar conditions and seek care at the same time, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Destination healthcare is an up and coming trend that is not just making a huge impact among the wealthy, or the globetrotters, but more so among a larger group - the baby boomers. 

Baby boomers currently make up the biggest age demographic in the country, and very soon many of them will be retiring, and many are already looking for alternatives to their healthcare.

Air ambulance services can be used for a variety of different reasons, and provide helpful accomodations for people with varying health concerns. In addition, many people who require these services have family or loved ones that wish to join them on board.

In the world of insurance, it's amazing what they will cover, and what they will not. Ideally, all of our incidences would be covered 100%, or at the very least, partially, like your typical 80/20 or 60/40 plan. But what happens when an insurance provider decides your recent lifesaving flight in an air ambulance jet or air ambulance helicoptor simply isn't covered under your plan? How do you handle such a burdensome bill, which you clearly were not anticipating in the first place.

When people hear the term “jet”, they often think of a luxury means of traveling the globe. Jets, however, can also be an invaluable form of transportation for people in a medical emergency. Medical jets have a variety of extra features regular jets don’t have that allow them to get patients safely from one medical center to another.

In the event of an emergency, sometimes your only option for medical transport is an air ambulance. And in that moment, you may not be thinking about how you're going to pay for it when the dust settles. Will my insurance cover it? Will I have to pay for it 100% out of pocket? Will I be able to choose which air ambulance company I use? All of these are common questions we receive, and all are questions that need to be answered in order to ensure you feel confident with your medical air transport. 

The process of scheduling a medical flight can often be confusing and intimidating. Patients and their loved ones don't always know where to start or who to best help them with each step. At Aero Med Express, Inc. we strive to make the process of arranging an air ambulance as smooth as possible for all parties involved while ensuring the patient receives the best care available.
