Not all medical transport situations are urgent. Sometimes, individuals recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring specialized care abroad need to travel safely with medical support—but not immediately. In these cases, MTI 24/7 provides a reliable solution for medically assisted travel without the urgency of an emergency.
Key insights about Non-emergency medical transport (NEMT):
Non-emergency medical transport is designed for patients who require medical oversight during travel but do not need immediate, life-saving care.
MTI 24/7 offers tailored services, including air ambulances and medical escorts, to ensure each patient receives the appropriate level of support.
Non-emergency medical transport is ideal for individuals with chronic conditions, mobility limitations, or those recovering from surgery or treatment.
Our medical escort service involves a licensed nurse or paramedic accompanying the patient on a commercial flight.
Our air ambulance service provides higher-level care in an ICU-equipped aircraft, staffed by trained medical professionals for critical or complex cases.
Unlike emergency transport, non-emergency services are planned in advance and focus on comfort, safety, and continuity of care rather than urgent intervention.
Pricing for NEMT depends on factors like medical complexity, travel distance, timing, and the type of transport required.
MTI 24/7 provides personalized quotes, ensuring you receive the right care at the right price, without hidden costs.
What is non-emergency medical transport?
Non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) refers to transportation services provided to individuals who need medical care but do not require immediate or emergency attention. It ensures safe, reliable access to healthcare for patients with mobility challenges or chronic conditions, for instance.
How do emergency and non-emergency medical transports differ?
Emergency medical transport involves an immediate response to life-threatening situations. In contrast, MTI 24/7 specializes exclusively in non-emergency medical transport, offering air ambulance and medical escort services for patients who require medical oversight, but are not in immediate danger, such as those whose condition has already been stabilized.

Our medical escort services include professional medical supervision during commercial airline travel. At MTI 24/7, we provide a middle ground between fully-equipped air ambulances and standard passenger experiences:
