  • Critical Care Transports
    These transports are for any patient that requires critical care to maintain stability until they reach a facility that will meet their special needs.  And according to the State of Georgia EMS regulations, a licensed Paramedic is certified to transport Critical Care patients once they have obtained certification in Advanced Life Support.  The State of Georgia does not recognize separate certifications for ALS and CCT.  Therefore, all of our Paramedics are certified for Critical Care Transports.
     
  •  Long Distance Transports
    These transports are for relocating patients to or from other facilities outside our normal coverage area1.  These services are offered for patients that need to be transported to a facility closer to home or closer to their family.  We will also do these transports for patients that require medical treatment that may not be available in our area. Typically, we will accept these transports when the patient has insurance that will cover the trip or payment will be made at the time of service from either the patient or a responsible family member.  Currently, our areas of coverage include but may not be limited to areas across the state of Georgia, and into Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee
