In an emergency, the last thing you want to think about is the bill. With the Northwest MedStar membership program, you’ll not only have the assurance that you and your family will receive quality critical care air transport, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your flight will not create extra financial hardship. Read the stories of some of our patients to learn more.
"I don't think people realize that most insurances don't cover the full cost of an air ambulance trip. When my husband was flown before, the cost was over $11,000. Our insurance paid $3,000. The rest was up to us. My husband recently flew again in the helicopter, but this time after our insurance pays their portion our MedStar membership takes care of the rest. I am so thankful we have this. I just want people to know what is available and how it can benefit you."
- Denise Wisener, Northwest MedStar member
Critical care transport of any kind is expensive, and air transport is no exception. An average flight can cost thousands of dollars, which may not be covered in full by your health insurance plan. With our Membership Program, you won’t have to worry about financial hardship should you ever require our air transport services. Membership benefits include:
- Coverage for you, your spouse or domestic partner and family members claimed for income tax purposes.
- Northwest MedStar will bill your insurance company directly so you won’t incur out-of-pocket expenses.
- An ever-extending service area. Thanks to reciprocal agreements with several regional air medical transport providers, your Northwest MedStar membership will be honored by similar programs, extending to parts of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, Nevada, and California.

Peace of mind costs just $59 per family, per year, or $150 for three years. Your membership will cover you, your spouse, and any legal family members in your household.
Join Northwest MedStar and protect yourself and your family from emergency air transport costs that aren’t covered by health insurance.
