When a medical emergency occurs, such as a car accident or a heart attack. The price of an ambulance or medical air transport should not be the first concern for anyone. But the sad truth is that many patients will avoid asking for emergency transport because they are worried about the cost. Instead, they will opt to use the Uber APP for a taxi ride. Or ask a family member to come home from work and drive them to the hospital. This phenomenon has emerged and many medical experts recommend Replacing Medical Transportation With Telemedicine Equipment.
1. Telemedicine Equipment Avoids The High Cost of Medical Air Transport
The cost of medical air transport can be prohibitive. In addition to the cost of the flight (usually split between take-off and per-mile fuel costs), patients must pay for any special medical configurations or equipment on the aircraft. They’re also paying for the 24/7 availability of the pilot and medical personnel and the actual medical services rendered. All of this adds up to a significant amount of money.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem: use Telemedicine Equipment. While telemedicine is not suitable for every medical emergency, it can bring immediate care to many patients.
Without having to airlift them to a distant hospital, it reduces costs and improves outcomes.
