Who determines if a member is going to be transported?
When a member suffers a critical illness or injury requiring transport, the member’s attending physician works in concert with SkyMed’s Member Services Director. SkyMed will schedule the necessary air ambulance transport as soon as the member has been stabilized. Arrangements must be made at the receiving hospital for patient acceptance. All transportation arrangements MUST be made by SkyMed. Members arranging for their own air ambulance are financially responsible for complete payment of those arrangements.
