AirMedCare Network pitches no-out-of-pocket air-medical membership to county officials

A representative from AirMedCare Network, locally known as AirEvac, briefed Grant County Fiscal Court on the company’s membership program and asked whether the county might offer membership options to employees.

Jason, an AirMedCare Network representative, told the court the membership guarantees no out-of-pocket expense for covered members and their households for qualifying flights on AirMedCare assets anywhere in the United States. He described several plan structures — group full, census, and payroll-deduct options — and said pricing scales with the number of employees and plan type.

The nut graf: Jason proposed that the county could offer the membership to its employees (courthouse, sheriff, road department, etc.), either by gifting memberships to individuals, by purchasing a census pool of slots the county controls, or by offering payroll-deduct enrollment; he emphasized the product is a membership, not insurance.

Jason said the census model is popular with public employers because the county maintains the roster of covered slots and can add or remove employees as staffing changes. He also described payroll-deduct mechanics in which the county initially pays and then recoups costs through employee deductions; he said the company can ensure the county does not lose money under that approach.

Judge Dills thanked Jason for the overview; the presentation drew no vote or formal decision during the meeting. Jason left contact information and asked county officials to raise questions or request more details if they wanted to pursue an employee-member offering.

Ending: No action was taken; county officials said they would review the proposal and reach out with questions.
