Air Life and
FireMed Memberships
You have decline the membership agreement, but remember...
There’s been a brutal car accident on a quiet stretch of Oregon
highway. Racing through shattered glass and twisted metal, the ground ambulance
crew works to free passengers from the wreckage and administer medical
care. One passenger has severe injuries, and needs a hospital immediately.
With seconds ticking, the ground crew calls Air Life of Oregon to fly the
patient to safety . . .
It could happen to you.
Did you know that air ambulance
costs can range anywhere from $6,000 to $18,000? But in times of crisis,
when every second counts, you can count on Air Life to be there. Your $50
annual membership will shield you and your family from out-of-pocket air
ambulance costs.
Air Life of Oregon flies seriously ill or injured patients
via our Eurocopter EC-145helicopter and our three Pilatus PC-12
fixed-wings (airplanes). In more than 19 years, Air Life has flown more
than 11,000 patients. Our highly trained pilots, flight nurses and respiratory
therapists offer exceptional care and rapid transport to the closest medically
appropriate facility.
Air Life’s Membership Program gives your
entire family peace of mind for only $50 annually. While Air Life flies
anyone in medical need, regardless of ability to pay, member patients
pay nothing out-of-pocket for their transports.
Air Life bills a member’s insurance carrier
(if any) and accepts that payment as payment in full.
In the face of illness or injury, the last thing you
need is an expensive bill for ambulance transport. With ground ambulance
membership, your family is covered for:
- Emergency 911 response for sudden
illness or injury.
- Nonemergency yet medically necessary ambulance service
as preauthorized by a physician.
- Ambulance transportation to the closest
medically appropriate facility.
For only $50 a year, you and your family
are covered not just with your local ambulance service, but with all
FireMed affiliates in Oregon. Even with insurance, ambulance costs are
seldom paid in full. Medicare, for example, only covers 50 to 80 percent
of ambulance charges, depending on the service provided. With ground membership,
you won’t have to worry about noncovered expenses. Your insurance
payment, if any, is accepted as payment in full.
