International medical repatriation to and from America
A medical situation in America requires fast, clear and international coordination. Bryan Morgan Care organizes medical repatriation to and from the United States, both for patients who have to travel back to Belgium, the Netherlands or Europe, and for patients who are transported to America from other countries.
We supervise the entire process from hospital bed to arrival at the final destination: medical assessment, flight planning, ambulance transport, communication with doctors, insurers and family, and guidance during the trip.
Repatriation to and from America is rarely standard
Due to the large distances, long flight duration, hospital administration, insurance questions and medical approval, a repatriation to or from America requires more preparation than a short European journey.
Long processes with multiple medical links
A repatriation from America can consist of a local ambulance, domestic transfer, international flight and reception upon arrival. Every link must be medically and practically correct.
Medical reports, fit-to-fly and discharge planning
Before departure there are often medical reports, airline approval, oxygen information, medication details and clear handover required between treating physicians and the accompanying medical team.
American health care costs can add up quickly
When admitted to hospital in the United States, families quickly look for a safe solution. We examine which form of transport is medically responsible and which planning is realistic.
Repatriation by American state
Select a state for local information on medical repatriation, air ambulance, medical flight and stretcher transport.
When families contact us
The demand for repatriation often arises unexpectedly: after an accident, surgery, hospitalization, deterioration of health or when flying independently is no longer possible.
A patient is admitted to an American hospital
The family wants to know whether return to Belgium, the Netherlands or another country is possible, and which medical escort is needed for this.
The patient is stable, but cannot travel alone
In that case, medical escort can be viewed on a scheduled flight or a stretcher route.
Monitoring, oxygen or intensive care is needed
In serious medical situations, an air ambulance may be necessary, with a specialized team and medical equipment on board.

From the first contact we map out the medical situation, location, destination and practical options. We then determine which form of transport is safe and feasible.
