Next Flight Out Services

NFO, also known as next flight out, is a service offered by an Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) such as Medi-Ops. This allows organizations to ship blood, organs, and other medical specimens via commercial airlines and our private network of operators. This service is more economical than an aircraft charter and provides a rapid and secure method of transport.

There are more than 45,000 domestic flights each day that have the capability to transport cargo. By utilizing our software, we are able to locate the nearest origin and destination airports. We then can identify the optimal flight, departing and arriving, at these airports as well as the drive time to and from each. Because of this, next flight out is a great option when time is of the essence for your cargo.

Once the transport order has been confirmed, we immediately dispatch appropriate units. The shipment is picked up, taken to the airport, and tendered to the airline or aircraft. We monitor your package during the entire transportation process and you can follow this progress using our software. Upon flight arrival, we retrieve your shipment and deliver it to its final destination.

NFO shipments tend to be time critical, this is why it is important to use an IAC! We are the party that ensures the safety of your package throughout its journey. We work directly with the TSA, DHS, and FAA to maintain the highest standards. Reach out today to learn more, and open an account! We look forward to serving you!

Blood Bank Logistics

Here at Medi-Ops, we primarily use our courier services to serve blood banks. While there are a variety of industries that could benefit from our innovative courier system, we recognize that blood banks across the United States are widely underserviced! While everyone agrees that blood donation and processing are vital to healthcare and human life, innovation, technology, and external services available to blood banks are almost non-existent! This is where Medi-Ops enters. 

When a patient needs blood, the hospital lab technicians call a blood bank. The blood bank processes and packs the blood in their labs… it’s all ready to go! But how does it get back to hospitals? That is where we come in. The blood bank lab techs call our 24/7 dispatch center and we get to work. First, we determine the perfect mode of transport – air or ground, emergent or STAT, and then find the courier to do it! We partner with a variety of courier companies; this way, no blood is left delayed, and no patients suffer. Whether we use internal couriers, or a courier from another company, we use our state of the art software to track every order.

Our software allows clients to place, track, and alter their orders. They can watch the order at every step along the way – from confirmed, en route, on scene… all the way to delivery! The blood bank techs will have complete confidence that their order was completed and delivered safely – this is why we require each blood delivery to confirm a point of delivery and be completed with a signature from the receiving lab tech. 

We pride ourselves in using technology and a variety of professional services to better the healthcare field – this is why we focus on serving blood banks across the country and why we will continue to do so. 

As always, if you have any questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to our 24/7 dispatch center at 1 (844) 633-4677.

Blood Donation: Need, Facts, and How YOU can Save Lives

Human blood is a commodity that we may not always consider – human blood cannot be created, but, rather, it must be donated. Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs blood or platelets. Patients, such as a mom and baby in need of a lifesaving transfusion, rely on the frequent donation of blood product. Our team at Medi-Ops strongly recommends anyone who is able to donate, contact their local blood bank to explore their donation options.

If you live in Colorado, you can contact Vitalant at 877-25-VITAL or at Vitalant.org!

We are proud to be a transportation partner of Vitalant to help in the distribution of human blood product across Colorado and surrounding states.

Saving Lives, One Transport at a Time: Lights and Sirens Courier

Medi-Ops is the most innovative courier service because we provide an option for your every transportation need. Often, blood, surgical supplies, organs, etc., need to be transported faster than a STAT order! This is why we offer lights and siren emergency transportation. Emergency medical courier transportation is a new and upcoming field but, we have been offering this service for years. 

When you place an emergency order, we activate one of our emergency units which operate under very strict guidelines; similar to those police departments use. Given our relationship with Colorado State Patrol, we are able to utilize traffic law exemptions to get your specimen or supplies where they need to be, as fast as possible! This service is great for hospitals/medical centers, as well as organ and blood banks. Emergency courier, with lights and sirens transportation, is the most safe and time effective out of all our ground transport options. 

Because we pride ourselves on handling every detail of your transportation, we provide live and up to date tracking information to any email or phone number you provide. This leaves you worry free! We will always connect you with the most efficient operator for your transportation – in house or otherwise! We also have relationships with many emergent ambulance service providers should you need to transport medical teams, doctors, surgeons, nurses, etc. or any variety of other medical transportation. 

Not only does emergent transportation provide a faster alternative to medical transportation, it saves lives. You will not find a faster and more attentive team to transport your life-saving blood, organs, or surgical supplies. You will always be in the best hands with Medi-Ops and their emergent teams.
