Each year, millions of Americans spend the winter months in sunnier locales like Florida, Nevada and Arizona. Unfortunately, illness or injury during travel can lead to hospitalizations away from regular healthcare providers and support systems, potentially affecting their recovery. When a loved one is hospitalized far from home, the weight of stress on families can be overwhelming. Balancing emotional strain with financial concerns often forces families to choose between being there for their loved ones or managing everyday obligations back home.
Air Medical Membership for Snowbirds
The costs associated with chartering a medical flight can be unaffordable—unless you have the Fly-U-Home membership from AirMedCare Network (AMCN). This membership is designed for non-emergency medical transportation, ensuring that hospitalized patients can return to their own doctors for ongoing care. No matter where you find yourself in the continental United States, Fly-U-Home takes care of all the details involved in medical transport. Whether it’s arranging for medical escorts on commercial flights or utilizing dedicated air ambulances, every aspect is seamlessly managed for your peace of mind.
Air Medical Memberships- A Lifeline for Expats
For snowbirds traveling abroad or those who are expats, opting for Fly-U-Home International is the right choice for medically repatriating from overseas. Understanding that foreign healthcare standards differ from the United States, it’s crucial to plan ahead. While living abroad often can be more affordable, serious health issues can lead to significant out-of-pocket expenses. Many snowbirds and expats face challenges with health insurance plans while abroad, often needing to pay up-front for care.
No matter where illness happens, getting home safely is the priority. The Fly-U-Home teams have decades of experience in long-haul medical care. Alongside highly skilled pilots, each aircraft is equipped like an ICU*- with a flight nurse and flight paramedic, ensuring the highest level of care in transit.
Our ground support staff is committed to making your journey as smooth as possible. Our flight coordinators oversee all transportation scheduling and keep families updated before and during the flights. In certain cases, family members may even travel alongside patients, helping to ease anxiety during this stressful time.
AMCN’s Fly-U-Home memberships are accessible to both American and Canadian snowbirds and expats, eliminating the worry of securing medical care far from home. Affordable plans cover your entire household, making it easier than ever to be prepared for any health surprises that may arise. Discover more about these important medical membership options today!
