The Fastest Way to Recovery

The Fastest Way to Recovery

Accidents don t happen on a timeline. Crisis knows no borders. When the unimaginable happens, you might find yourself on an adventure halfway around the globe. More likely, it s a business trip just a few hours from home. You could be hospitalized in your own city, in need of a second opinion or an expert physician across the country. Wherever you are and whatever the medical need, AirMed assures you receive seamless access to the highest level of care.

What makes AirMed different? AirMed enhances existing health and/or travel insurance. Travel insurance focuses on trip cancellation and lost luggage. AirMed focuses on taking care of you: We cover you at home and while traveling. You are given the power to choose where you would like to be treated, even if the transfer is not a medical necessity. Most of us could not easily cover the costs of private air transport when urgently needed. Not only was AirMed a great investment, but we really don t know what we would have done without it.

Dear AirMed, Let us know if you have any complaints. Those were the last words we heard as our 16-year-old son was gently lowered on his bed at Sloan Kettering Institute in New York by your staff who, just that morning, had lifted him from his sick bed at St. John s Hospital in Los Angeles. Well, I have a complaint. You see, I have practiced medicine for over 52 years, and I know what proper care is and how it should be administered. I am also a licensed private pilot, so nothing escapes my medical or pilot s eye. Now, on to my complaint: I have nothing, not a single little thing. Not an iota, not a smidgen, not a scrap of a thing to complain about, and that is a real problem for a born complainer. From our first phone call to your dispatcher, to those arranging the trip, to your staff, to the plane and equipment, everything, and I mean everything, was as planned and executed perfectly. So here I am with not a thing to complain about. You should be proud of your employees as they gave us more than just professional excellence. They gave peace of mind to our son and our family, highly skilled professional medical care, and a perfect flight experience. With deep felt thanks, I remain deeply in your debt, Edward R. Ritvo, MD Professor Emeritus, UCLA Medical School
