Patient Transport and Medical Escort from the Regions to Tbilisi
Geoassistance arranges patient transport by road from any region of Georgia to hospitals in Tbilisi and the other main cities, and a medical escort travels in the vehicle when the patient's condition calls for one. Before the patient sets off, the Geoassistance coordinator agrees the admission with the receiving hospital, chooses the vehicle and fixes the departure time.

Does insurance pay for a patient transfer to Tbilisi?
Whether a road transfer is covered is the insurer's decision, based on the treating doctor's report. Geoassistance forwards that report and bills the insurer directly when the transfer is covered. Without cover, a quote reflecting the distance, the vehicle and any escort on board is given before the vehicle leaves.

Common questions
Phone Geoassistance, day or night, and say where the patient is, which hospital or doctor they need and how mobile they are. Geoassistance then confirms the admission, chooses the vehicle and escort, and gives the family a departure time.
Yes. When the patient's condition requires it, Geoassistance places a medical escort in the vehicle for the entire trip, from the regional clinic or home to the ward in the city.
Yes. A patient who has to lie flat travels in an equipped ambulance rather than a car, and Geoassistance adds a medical escort if the treating doctor recommends one.
Geoassistance moves patients from any region of Georgia to hospitals in Batumi, Kutaisi and Tbilisi, and between hospitals when a patient needs to change clinic. Where flying makes more sense than a long drive, Geoassistance plans an air transfer instead.
Geoassistance needs the patient's location, the diagnosis or the latest discharge note, the receiving hospital if one is already chosen, and a contact person in the family. With those details the coordinator can agree the admission and plan the vehicle and escort.
Yes. The Geoassistance line answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a transfer can be requested at night or at the weekend and timed around the receiving hospital's admission.
