Medical Helicopter Service Guidelines
Flight must originate from hospital and must be in our primary service area or be requested by a medical professional within LifeNet’s primary service area. (Bowie, Miller, Red River, Garland, Cass, and Little River counties)
Subscribers are entitled to transport by LifeNet, Inc helicopter to the closest facility for injuries that are deemed by an attending medical professional to be life or limb threatening, or that could lead to permanent disability.
Patient’s medical condition will dictate whether or not air transportation is in the best interest of the patient’s health and well being. In certain conditions of compromised health, LifeNet reserves the right to determine whether or not a patient is flown
Federal Aviation Administration restrictions prohibit LifeNet from transporting patients weighing over 400 pounds, or flying in inclement weather conditions. The primary determinant of whether to accept a flight regardless of the factor, be in patient size, weather conditions or some other factor, is always the safety of the patient and our medical crews.
LifeNet services may not be available at the time of request for services due to factors beyond LifeNet’s control, such as use of the appropriate aircraft by another patient or other circumstances governed by operations requirements such as regulations and maintenance. |
