Since 1982, Airlift Northwest has been the region’s
premier air medical transport service, caring for more than
55,000 patients since the program began. Now that same commitment
to quality air medical service is available to you and your
household through Airlift Northwest
AirCare, a membership service
available for residents of Washington state.
Seconds count…
When you or a member of your household is seriously ill
or injured, the attending physician or emergency response
team may determine
that air medical transportation is needed. The Airlift Northwest
24-Hour ComCenter receives instructions on where you need
to be transported for an appropriate level of care. Weather
permitting, Airlift Northwest responds within minutes.
Part
of the team…
While the on-site medical team continues its expert care
for the patient, the Airlift Northwest “flying intensive
care unit” takes off. All Airlift Northwest flights
are staffed with two critical care certified nurses who have
advanced training in the care of pediatric and adult patients.
You and your household are in good hands. Our nurses can
care for all types of critically ill or injured patients,
from
acute cardiac conditions to multiple trauma to obstetrical
emergencies. We meet and exceed all standards of care for
air medical services and are accredited by the Commission
on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services. Our aviation
partners—Air Methods Corporation and Executive Flight Inc.—provide
all aviation services, including the pilots and mechanics
with the expertise to keep us all safe.
Affordable…
Airlift Northwest AirCare was developed to provide communities
in Washington state with high-quality air medical service
at the most affordable cost. While Medicare and some insurance
policies may provide partial coverage for air ambulance transport
charges, many do not. Please check your insurance policy
for details.
The $79 annual membership fee will shield
you and your household from out-of-pocket costs for Airlift
Northwest
air medical
services that may not be covered by insurance. Airlift Northwest
will bill the insurance carrier (if any), and other payers,
and accept their payment as your payment in full for our
services.
