Non-Emergency Medical Transportation

Long distance medical transport allows patients who cannot fly on their own the opportunity to travel with an experienced flight nurse who handles all of their medical needs. Using commercial airlines, a non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) company takes care of all your flight arrangements. A flight nurse then travels with you, providing support and medical care throughout your journey.

Flying Angels offers long distance medical transport services no matter how long the journey. Our flight nurses serve as a medical travel companion on both domestic and international flights.

The Advantages of Long Distance Medical Transport

NEMT services offer an alternative to expensive emergency medical transport. Travelers still make their journey on a commercial flight. However, RN flight coordinators handle all the travel arrangements. A flight nurse manages medication, medical equipment and any special arrangements needed to navigate security at the airport and board the airplane. Flying Angels flight nurses have years of experience in nursing and have earned a license to provide medical care at high altitudes.
