Air Ambulance and Medical Evacuation from Georgia
Geoassistance arranges air ambulance flights and medical evacuation out of Georgia and back into it, for patients who cannot travel on an ordinary flight. One call to the 24/7 coordination line in Tbilisi starts the whole chain: the aircraft, the medical escort, the ground ambulance at both ends and the receiving hospital.

Does insurance pay for an air ambulance from Georgia?
Most medical evacuations are paid by a travel or health insurer, and the insurer decides on the basis of medical reports. Geoassistance collects those reports from the treating hospital in Georgia, sends them in the form the insurer expects, and bills the insurer directly where the case is covered. Where there is no cover, you get the full cost before anything is booked.

Common questions
The cost depends on the distance, the type of aircraft, the medical crew the patient needs, and whether a stretcher on a scheduled flight is possible instead of a dedicated air ambulance. Geoassistance gives you a figure after one short call, once the destination and the medical report are known.
Often yes. Where the treating doctor confirms the patient is fit to fly, Geoassistance arranges a stretcher or a seated transfer on a scheduled flight with a doctor or nurse escort, which costs far less than a dedicated aircraft.
A medical escort matched to the condition: a doctor, a reanimatologist or a nurse. Geoassistance agrees the crew with the treating hospital before departure, and the escort stays with the patient until the receiving hospital takes over.
Yes. Geoassistance handles repatriation in both directions, out of Georgia and back into it, including the ground ambulance at both ends and the hand-over to the hospital in Tbilisi or the regions.
Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi international airports, plus ground transport from any hospital in Georgia to the departure airport.
It depends on the destination, aircraft availability and the documents the receiving country requires. Geoassistance starts on the first call and gives you a realistic timeline as soon as the medical report is in hand.
