HALO-Flight Guardian Membership FAQs

Air ambulance services are activated by EMS personnel who follow strict protocols set in places by the Regional Advisory Council and the Texas Department of State Health Services. The protocols provide EMS personnel with medically appropriate response guidelines to increase survival rates. The guidelines stipulate to call the closest available air ambulance service to transport the patient to the nearest facility to receive the level of care necessary in a timely manner.
Interfacility transfers occur when a patient requires a higher level of care not available within the facility, which may include specialty cases such as severe burns and other modalities deemed appropriate for air ambulance transport prompted by the attending physician.
