Contracting for helicopter emergency transport services.
A hospital considering the lease of a helicopter for use in a medical emergency evacuation program will need to consider many issues, from the type and availability of the aircraft needed to the experience and qualifications required of the pilot and mechanic. Also to be considered are the liability of the hospital for negligence or misconduct of the helicopter service, and the particulars of reimbursement for helicopter service under Medicare as a capital-related cost.
