Emergencies arise when you least expect them. When they do, every second counts. No one knows this better than the flight crew at AirLink Critical Care Transport (CCT), an emergency air ambulance service that covers 130,000 square miles in Oregon. With bases in Bend and La Grande, AirLink is ready to respond at a moment’s notice, 24-hours-a-day, every day.
While it’s comforting to know AirLink is always ready, investing annually in an AirLink membership is a smart way to ensure you and your loved ones receive superior care and emergency medical transport at an affordable cost.
AirLink offers annual membership plans that protect members and their families from emergency air transport expenses. Few families realize that emergency air transportation can easily cost between $11,000 and $25,000, which may not be covered in full by your health insurance plan. An AirLink membership offsets the charges for emergency air transportation by protecting you and your loved ones from large out-of-pocket expenses. AirLink accepts payment from insurance carriers as payment in full. For example, if an insurance payment covers only $5,000 of a $15,000 flight, as a member of AirLink, the remaining balance of the flight is waived.
As part of AAMMP (The Association of Air Medical Membership Programs) an AirLink membership is honored by eight reciprocal air ambulance partners which include: Air St. Lukes in Boise, ID; Care Flight in Reno, NV; CALSTAR in Auburn, CA; Airlift Northwest in Seattle, WA; Wyoming Life Flight in Casper, WY; Enloe FlightCare in Chico, CA; Northwest MedStar in Spokane, WA and Life Flight Network in Portland, OR & Boise, ID.
AirLink memberships may be purchased alone ($58 annually) or in combination with a Blue Mountain Hospital Ambulance FireMed membership ($108 annually) or you may enroll as a Blue Mountain Hospital Ambulance FireMed member alone ($50 annually). A FireMed membership is honored by over 80 FireMed affiliates located throughout the state of Oregon.
Oregon offers limitless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors -from popular attractions to the most beautifully remote locations. While enjoying all that Oregon has to offer, protect yourself and your family with an AirLink and/or FireMed emergency medical transport membership.
