Horizon Air Ambulance

Horizon Air Ambulance is a program of Horizon Jets Charter Inc. It arranges air medical evacuations and medical flights around the world. The site says the company has transported patients for more than 25 years. Horizon Air Ambulance began in 1997 when Horizon Jets Charter built a medical evacuation department. The company has contacts in the United States, London and Bogota.

The company provides air medical flights, neonatal transport, stretcher flights and medical equipment. It also offers commercial stretcher flights. The site says each case requires certain information to be collected before a patient can board. A quote lists the general requirements, but each case has its own criteria. The site says case managers keep families informed at every step.

The company describes its evacuation process. It gathers patient records, helps with language issues and decides the transporting aircraft. It locates a receiving facility, arranges payment, supplies the medical staff and arranges ground transport. It also gathers IDs, visas and flight permits. The site says hotel help may be needed while a patient waits for medical clearance.

The site has a section on insurance. It says the company files claims with private insurers to try to recover some or all of the flight cost. It says air ambulance costs are more likely to be covered when a patient cannot receive the needed care where they are. Travel medical insurance is said to agree to air ambulance transport more quickly. The site says Medicaid can cover air ambulance services in some medical cases.

The site says Horizon Jets Charter Inc. arranges flights with FAR Part 135 air carriers when they are available. These carriers hold full operational control of the flights. The company lists phone numbers in the United States, London and Bogota, a WhatsApp line and a Dominican Republic line. The site has a contact form, a fleet page and a testimonials page.
