AirMedCare representative asks Limestone County to renew employee membership agreement
Summary
At the May 2, 2025 Limestone County Commission work session, a representative of AirMedCare Network asked the commission to renew a payroll-deduction membership agreement so county employees can again buy emergency air-transport memberships at a discounted rate.
Chris Petrie, a representative of AirMedCare Network, asked the Limestone County Commission on May 2, 2025, to renew an agreement that would let county employees buy air-medical memberships through payroll deduction.
The request matters because the memberships, Petrie said, guarantee zero out-of-pocket costs if a member is flown by one of the network’s providers in an emergency. “It guarantees zero out-of-pocket cost if anybody’s ever flown by one of our providers,” Petrie said, and he told commissioners a contracted agreement would offer employees about a 30% discount on membership pricing.
Petrie described the network’s coverage and an optional return-to-home add-on. He said the AirMedCare Network operates in 38 states with more than 320 air bases, and that within a 100-mile radius of the county there are roughly a dozen aircraft. He also described an optional a la carte add-on that, if purchased, would repatriate a member more than 50 miles from home after hospitalization.
The item was presented as public comment; no motion or vote to renew the county agreement was recorded in the transcript. Petrie left sample agreements, a payroll-deduction fact sheet and a coverage map with commissioners.
The transcript does not record further discussion, a formal motion, or a vote on renewing an agreement during the portion of the meeting captured in the record.
