Since 1982, Airlift Northwest has been the region’s
premier air medical transport service, caring for more than
60,000 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 Alaska and Washington.
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 Alaska and Washington 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.
The AirCare membership program directly
helps to fund Airlift Northwest, so we can continue to transport
critically ill or injured adults, newborns, pregnant mothers
at risk, and heart attack or stroke victims in your community.
