The helicopter company has to pay many highly trained nurses (CRNAs) and pilots to be on call 24/7 whether they fly or not. And they pay them many multiples of their normal salaries.



I don’t think I’m looking at it wrong at all.

Is an ER patient billed directly for the time the ER is staffed when they were not there?

I think a lot of what you are saying is true

But to address your point, the ED might have to charge $40,000 a patient if they only saw 1 patient per day.

Just something to think about.

How much would an MRI be if they only did 1 per day? What if they could do 1,000 per day?

It costs like $3 mil a year just to maintain a chopper. That’s not even counting staffing and overhead costs which are probably more than that.

So if they take 1,000 flights a year they have to charge MUCH more to break even than if they make 10,000 flights per year
