air ambulance billing for air mileage

Billing for Air Mileage

Claims for air transports may account for all mileage from the point of pickup, including where applicable: ramp to taxiway, taxiway to runway, takeoff run, air miles, rollout upon landing and taxiing after landing. Additional air mileage may be allowed in situations where additional mileage is incurred, due to circumstances beyond the pilot’s control. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Military base and other restricted zones, air-defense zones, and similar FAA restrictions and prohibitions;

• Hazardous weather; or

• Variances in departure patterns and clearance routes required by an air traffic controller.
