The global air ambulance services market size is expected to reach USD 32.9 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of accidents, the impact of COVID-19, and technological advancements are the key driving factors for the market.
Air ambulance services are used generally in case of medical emergencies. Patients or their family members have to bear high costs in case the services are availed in dire situations. Thus, reimbursement plans help patients recover costs and reduce this burden. Many companies offer reimbursement for these services, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Moreover, the majority of the medical insurance guidelines and employee benefit plans offer some type of air ambulance coverage. The United States Department of Health and Human Services has included an air medical reimbursement plan in the Affordable Care Act. In February 2017, lawmakers in Montana supported two air ambulance regulation bills with an aim to reduce the economic burden on patients.
