Since 1985, we’ve provided more than 127,000 free flights to those in need of life-changing medical care not available in their local communities. 

Almost all Miracle Flights patients suffer from medical conditions treated by only a handful of experts located across the country, which makes medical travel a necessity. While insurance may cover actual treatment, it rarely covers the cost of travel.

As a result, many patients go untreated or misdiagnosed, simply because they can’t get to the medical experts who can effectively treat their condition. That’s where Miracle Flights comes in. We alleviate the financial burden of travel so families can focus on treatment and recovery.

We fly everywhere, every time.
Our team provides commercial plane tickets to all U.S.-based medical treatment facilities at no cost to families. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we’re able to fly patients as many times as needed. We’ve been flying some for more than 18 years.

We fly everyone, of every age.
We help treat all diseases for patients of every age. Simply put, we’ll fly anyone with a complex medical need who requires distant medical care.

We believe in the healing power of family.
We’ll pay to fly both parents or legal guardians of patients under 18. We’ll pay to fly a caregiver or companion for adult patients.

The next generation of Patient Transportation! Non-emergency medical transportation management. In the last ten years, technology has radically transformed ground transportation for the better. Cloud technologies, Big Data, GPS-tracking and mobile apps have been connected to a virtual, scalable, and cost-effective fleet of drivers and their vehicles. This new model of transportation allows for tracking, insights, efficiencies, and increased levels of service like never before possible. Each year, 3.6 million Americans miss or delay medical care due to transportation issues. Issues that stem from an overly complex and difficult-to-manage process that has not changed in decades. Quality of service in the non emergency medical transportation (NEMT) field is plagued by inadequate technology, outdated business models, inconsistent and unprofessional medical transportation providers, and virtually non-existent transparency for the health plan or customer. At Veyo, we envisioned a better system—one where smart logistics would be an ally to healthcare organizations. A revolutionary business model, built on new technology, with innovation and real-time analytics at its core. Veyo provides a full array of non emergency medical transportation management services to our customers. Services include, but are not limited to:

• member eligibility verification
• eligibility documentation
• call center services
• member appointment reminders and surveys
• third-party transportation provider recruitment, contracting, credentialing, and management
• trip dispatching and monitoring
• customer complaint management
• trip management portal installation and training
• mileage/gas reimbursement

Veyo has reinvented the patient transportation model from the ground up. Through a combination of data-driven technology, GPS tools, and Veyo’s proprietary Virtual Fleet™ Model, we deliver dramatically higher levels of reliability, quality, and transparency to customers, partners, and members than ever seen before in the non emergency medical transportation industry. Veyo is the result of the combination of 2pointb, a transportation and logistics technology company, with the healthcare logistics and transportation division of Total Transit, a company with a 20-year track record of delivering a differentiated solution for provider partnership, call center technology, and high performance.  www.veyo.com
