What Is the Average Cost of an Air Ambulance?

An air ambulance transports people in critical conditions to appropriate medical facilities, and are often used for travelers who fall ill or get injured while abroad. Rather than recovering in a foreign hospital far away from family, they can be transported to a hospital close to home. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the average cost of an air ambulance starts around $12,000.

How JET ICU Helps With the Cost

JET ICU is an accredited air ambulance company that works hard to limit or even eliminate our patients’ out-of-pocket costs. In fact, we have an in-house legal team whose job it is to do exactly that: They will work directly with our patients’ insurance companies to submit any necessary paperwork and negotiate for reducing the cost of the transport.

At JET ICU, we understand that cost is not your main concern when you need an air ambulance. Whether you’re the patient who just wants to get home or a family member worried about your loved one, you want an air ambulance that can provide expert care. (Which, by the way, is exactly what JET ICU delivers—safe, experienced care for our patients.) And that’s why JET ICU advocates for our patients during the insurance process. While other air ambulance companies boast about accepting most insurance plans, we go beyond that to provide individualized advocacy long after the transport.

Contact JET ICU today if you have questions about cost or our legal team that provides insurance advocacy. We’ll be glad to answer your questions.
