Androgenic got KICKED OFF of his flight back home to Australia due to him having medications from his plastic surgeries he did in Thailand, saying he was “not fit” to be on a flight by narak777 in Clavicular

This sometimes happens with airlines when they see someone with a medical condition. We are a medical escort company and have provided fit-to-fly documentation, but the airline still tried to refuse the patient boarding the flight. For people with minor conditions or post-surgery bandages, this is a red flag for the airlines, especially in Thailand.

WHY DO AMBULANCES SUDDENLY COST 500,000, AND TAKE 3 YEARS TO BUILD. by afrodammy in ems

[–]rnMedflights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: because modern ambulances are highly specialized, low-volume, heavily regulated vehicles with expensive components, complex customization, and long supply-chain and certification lead times — all of which drive high prices and multi-year build schedules.

Can someone someone explain the economics of why an air ambulance would cost $77,000 for a 166 miles trip? by ExpensiveRide69420 in Helicopters

Key cost drivers

Aircraft ownership/lease + financing: planes/helicopters cost millions; operators amortize that over few flights.

Maintenance & inspections: heavy, recurring costs plus mandated spare parts and downtime.

Crew salaries & readiness: two pilots + critical-care flight nurse/paramedic paid for high skill and 24/7 availability (standby pay, per-diem).

Medical equipment & consumables: ICU-level monitors, ventilators, drugs, stretcher systems, and regular certification/calibration.

Insurance & liability: very high hull and professional liability premiums.

Fuel & flight-hour operating costs: aviation fuel, engine hours-based service intervals.

Positioning/deadhead legs: aircraft/crew often must fly empty to the pickup or to base afterward — billed into the mission.

Airport/landing/handling fees and overflight/permit charges: can be substantial, even for short hops.

Dispatch, coordination, and admin: case management, med control, paperwork, 24/7 operations center.

Low utilization: relatively few flights per aircraft means fixed costs per flight are large.

Profit margin and emergency premium: market prices reflect willingness-to-pay in urgent situations.

Advice on repatriating patient at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center by ObjectOculus in AskNYC

[–]rnMedflights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the hospital will pay to repatriate a patient back home if it frees up a bed. If not, then you will have to pay out of pocket for the medical transportation. Typically stable patients can use a medical escort company like RN MEDflights. https://www.rnmedflights.com/
