Inter Facility Transfers

At Immediate Medical, we pride ourselves in providing comprehensive coverage for all Interfacility Transfers (IFTs) ranging from Basic to Advanced Life Support cases. However, it is important to note that authorization from your medical scheme is required for IFT cases.

If you require an IFT and are unsure about the authorization process specific to your medical scheme or private cover, our Dispatch Centre is here to assist you. They possess the necessary information and knowledge to guide you through the authorization process based on your medical scheme or private cover requirements.
For patients who are not covered by a medical scheme or for whom the IFT is not covered by their medical scheme, we offer private patient rates.

Our services encompass the transfer of patients to and from various medical and care facilities. Whether it be medical facilities, elderly care facilities, rehabilitation centers, or any other locations that require patient transportation assistance, we have the expertise to manage these transfers efficiently.

It is important to note that these IFTs can either be short or long distance transfers.

For clarification, a short distance transfer refers to a transfer where the patient is transported less than 100km. On the other hand, a long distance transfer refers to a transfer where the patient is transported more than 100km.

Furthermore, Immediate Medical has the capability to provide international patient transportation services via road or air, if required. This ensures that patients who need to be transferred internationally can avail themselves of our services confidently.
