WHAT ARE MEDICAL EVACUATION SERVICES?

EXPERIENCE
Our medical professionals collectively have accumulated thousands of hours of experience in air-ambulance transport, critical care and emergency room response.
PROFESSIONALS
REVA’s medical team is staffed by highly qualified specialists in emergency care, including flight doctors, registered nurses, critical-care paramedics and registered respiratory therapists.
CERTIFICATIONS
Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Care Unit and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Emergency Department Basic and Pediatric Life Support, Neonatal Resuscitation, Prehospital Trauma Life Support
Top Industry Trained Flight Nurses
All medical professionals are required to attend ongoing training. REVA’s training is intensive and focused. Education never stops. The two form the foundation of a program of excellence that exceeds industry requirements. When a civilian air ambulance company can effortlessly take part in training with the Air National Guard and prove its mettle in a medical evacuation exercise, that effort deserves to be noted. REVA accomplished that when it excelled in Empire Strike at Schenectady County Airport, REVA’s northeast base. It was the first time a commercial air-ambulance company had been involved in such an effort.
“It is the sacred responsibility of every REVA medical professional to provide the finest care to our clients.”

Medical Evacuation Insurance Coverage
If an insured person suffers a medical emergency and needs transportation, medical air evacuation insurance covers benefits payable to the maximum policy limit. This insurance is distinct from medical expense coverage and specifically covers expenses for medically required travel.
Evacuation plans, procedures and requirements will differ based on the patient's medical condition. In a less severe case, a patient may transfer from a medical flight to a commercial flight, while in critical conditions, they may require fully equipped medevac flights home.
If a patient is critically ill, your travel insurance plan or health insurance can help you get to the closest available medical facility. Once the patient has been stabilized, your coverage health plan includes arrangements to take them back to a medical facility in their home country, primary residence or other location of their choice.
Services covered can include:
- Travel arrangements and assistance.
- Ground transportation coordination at departure and arrival points.
- Identification of medical escort requirements and appropriate air transportation.
- Immigration clearances for patients.
- Admission coordination at a medical facility.
- Flying dependents back home.
- Travel for family members or friends to the rehabilitation center or medical care facility.
