The Patient Air Transportation Service (PATS)^* provides airline transportation to patients who are referred outside the El Paso area for evaluation, treatment, surgery for diagnostic studies unavailable in El Paso.

• PATS is available to patients whose treatment is unavailable locally and who have a genuine financial need.
• Patients may apply for assistance once a referral to another treatment facility within the state of Texas has occurred.
• Upon receipt of written documentation from the referring El Paso physician, the program coordinator will ensure that a round trip airline ticket has been purchased for the patient only.
