AirMedCare representative outlines a municipal employee membership; council schedules enrollment outreach
Summary
An AirMedCare Network representative presented a municipal membership option that would cover city employees for domestic air medical transport; staff discussed payroll-deduction supplemental coverage and suggested enrollment dates for employees.
An AirMedCare Network representative presented a municipal membership option to the council that would extend access to the company's domestic medical-transport network to city employees. The presenter said the municipal plan covers domestic flights and that Reeves County holds a separate agreement.
The presenter described the network's scope (he cited "over 500 assets in the U.S.") and said a municipal plan covering all city employees for three years would cost $52,800 as presented; he proposed offering an AMI supplemental product via payroll deduction for additional international or repatriation-style coverage.
He said enrollment would be individual: employees would complete membership enrollment and the presenter offered staff assistance for questions about billing and dispatch scenarios. The presenter suggested a brief on-site enrollment period (proposed Oct. 15'17 in the discussion) for city employees.
Council asked about differences from the Reeves County plan; the presenter said the city plan would provide access to the full domestic network rather than coverage strictly tied to Reeves County operations. Council did not vote on the contract at the meeting but asked staff to follow up and to include AirMedCare on a future agenda for action.
