Air Ambulance Service with Health Insurance

Air ambulances are aircrafts specifically designed to lift patients in emergencies to ensure that they reach their destination safely and timely to receive treatment. These aircrafts are well equipped with medical supplies and professional equipment such as ECG machine, ventilators, etc. The primary objective of these aircrafts is to lift patients from a remote/far away location and transport them to a hospital with specialized healthcare facilities.

An air ambulance can cost anywhere between INR 1.6 to 2 lakh per hour. A health insurance policy can help curtail this cost as well as help arrange the air ambulance.

The air ambulance can be helpful in case of medical emergencies. Here are a few scenarios when it can save your life:

• If you are injured during a trip and want to be transported to a medical facility that is near your home

• If you need to go to a medical facility or rehabilitation center for a specialized treatment

• In case you must be taken to a hospital immediately due to sudden medical emergencies like heart attack or cardiac arrest, and it is not possible to travel by road. In such cases, the patient needs to reach the hospital within the first hour, often referred to as the golden hour.

• In case you require specialized emergency treatment during the transport

The air ambulance facility is available under the Activ Assure Diamond Health Insurance Plan.
