Air Ambulance: If it is medically necessary, will decrease transport time to the appropriate hospital and weather conditions allow, we will request an air ambulance.

1.      Which air ambulance service will respond? Life Flight https://www.lifeflight.org/ and Airlift NW https://www.uwmedicine.org/airliftnw serve our area. Life Flight has a base in Brewster and Moses Lake. If available in Brewster they are the most frequent responders to our area. If they are on a mission, we will seek the next closest which is Airlift NW in Wenatchee. Airlfit NW also has bases in Arlington and the if the incident is up on the pass and the weather allows then Airlift will respond to the emergency.

2.      Which membership should I purchase? We recommend purchasing both. They are very reasonably priced. The membership includes all members of your household. Airlift NW offers a discounted rate for EMS and hospital staff. During an emergency, our highest priority is to get you to the nearest facility that can care for your emergency in the right amount of time. We will accept the air ambulance with the quickest response time. Their response times can vary from 19 minutes to over an hour pending which base they are responding from. Memberships make great gifts!

3. Will I get a bill from the air ambulance? If you are enrolled in their membership program, the air ambulance service used will bill your insurance, they will accept the insurance payment as payment in full and you will not be billed the balance.
