New Advertiser and a DEAL for RDP Members! Air-medivac membership!

[TeamGreene]

We have very good coverage in TX. It looks like Fort Stockton is the closest to Lajitas; 120 miles, so it is within our 150 NM typical operating range.

thanks

 

[Gramps]

Thank you Dave!

Like RD said, just post up here and I can answer any questions. There's a variety of options depending on your address. AZ, for example, allows 10 year plans, that basically locks you in at around $50 a year, and again, that's for the entire household. Kids away from school qualify as well.

do you serve southwest Utah? we are about 30 miles NW of St.George

Sorry, no. I checked Enterpise and St George and we do not have Emergent coverage there. If you do any traveling then Fly-U-Home would be an option.

thanks for the quick reply.....

It looks like according to the map, there is a dot close to albuquerque (roughly where I live), but the southern part of New Mexico is pretty scarce. How far away from one of those blue dots can I be that this will cover?

Are the choppers in Mohave Valley over by Dream Girls in this network ? -thank you for posting

 

[LakeMeadLavey]

How does it work when you are air lifted by a county fire dept helicopter. Most the medivacs I see are either LA County Fire or Ventura County Fire. Do these departments bill for these flights and is there any reimbursement in this scenario where you had no choice? I have heard the FD's do not bill but that is just hear say.

 

[Sherpa]

Does the membership have to be a family type plan?

Here’s why I ask: let’s say I have the plan.
I’m with a group of buddies riding dirt bikes and a friend goes down hard and needs an air flight out. Can that person be taken care of
From my plan?

Lastly, is there an “amount” of flights per year or that maxes out the plan?

Thanks in advance

 

[GOTTBoat]

Do you now any of the pilots that fly out of NV/AZ?

 

[Hypnautic]

What can you tell me about coverage in Hawaii.
Does this cover medical emergency or just accident? Sorry, if question was already asked/answered.
Thinking air-transport from outer island (Maui, Big Island) and need flight to Oahu.
What or are there co-pays or deductibles for flight?
Limits on annual use?

Do you cover SW Colorado? Specifically the Durango/4 Corners area??

 

[rivermobster]

Just to be clear...

Let's say I'm up in the Sierra's somewhere, and I bust myself up.

Will this service be available to me?

P. S. I'll be on the old guy policy if that makes a difference.

Great speaking with you Kevin. Thanks for the info, Greg. "AKA PapaG"

The general rule is 150 NM from the dots, but there’s more to it than that. PM me your zip code and we can start from there.

 

[QC22]

We are very strong in 4 Corners. Birds in Farmington, Alamosa and Blanding Utah.

Has to be on our equipment to be covered. Sorry for the short answer, but pretty much it.

We’re pretty strong in CA and most rural areas where we do business. I had a nicer and longer post written and deleted it! Doh! We should talk about Fly-U-Home too. That is more at your discretion. Bedside to Bedside once stable. The Emergent coverage is directed by EMS and you can see how that could get messy if the bird is on another call. No one wants to be responsible for waiting in a trauma scenario…

 

[QC22]

No, that is Native Air and more tied to the reservation. I could be wrong though. Still learning. We have two in Parker.

 

[QC22]

Does the membership have to be a family type plan?

It’s based on the address we use to register. Anybody you can justify as living at that address, and listed on the plan, is covered. You can add people. Has to be before an accident. Kind of the honor system.

Lastly, is there an “amount” of flights per year or that maxes out the plan?

Unlimited for Emergent, 2 annually for Fly-U-Home.

 

[QC22]

Just started meeting them. Saw two today, but don’t know their names…

We are very well covered in Hawaii due to its nature. We have both Emergent which is medical and accident, anything where there is risk to life or limb is how they put it, and Fly-U-Home International which would fly you to the mainland or Island of choice by your discretion after you are stable.

I have misstated this before and
I apologize. Fly-U-Home domestic is 48 state. You need International for HI.

Emergent is unlimited number of flights. Fly-U-Home is twice annually.

Beats $100 k

I would think that would be a free ride at taxpayers expense. In 1986 I was flown out of El Mirage Dry Lake and I never got a bill. I’m sure things are a lot different now with much fancier helicopters.

Damn could’ve tried to sell me on it last week lol.

 

[Gramps]

It seems that SW Utah, SE Nevada and the AZ strip areas could generate a good amount of revenue/business......lots off-roading and national park visitors. Or does IHC (Life Flight), Mercy Air and Classic have a lock on those areas?

 

[QC22]

Oh, I thought about it! I don’t want to end up being that guy: “don’t talk to him, he’ll bend you over and steal all your money!”

I’m still learning, but they’re nervous about pushing into the monopoly zone…

I’d have traded a few years over the cash

 

[FlyByWire]

That’s mostly native air.

Where I work we have 3 main companies and I’ve had them all on the ground at the same time.

These guys are all absolute rock stars. Not sure how this service works with regards to traffic collisions if we’re the ones calling them for you, but, this is a service / insurance that is worth its weight in gold.

(This is care flight & native, but reach comes out often as well)

 

[propcheck]

So let me help with the sale. If you live in Havasu and need an actual hospital you will have to go to Vegas The Havasu Regional medical center Fkn suks it is a for profit shithole. And insurance does not cover any transport for better quality of care.

Disclaimer: the doctors and patient care staff is not why that place sucks as a matter of fact I can tell you which Hospitalist, Rn, and CNA to name request because they are 5star but the administration and management of the facility are third world at best so spend the 2-300 and get transport anytime anywhere. We have had reach service subscription in the past and let it lapse i will renew this week through this deal.

PM or text/call when ready so I can get the code put in for you. It’s a little clunky so better I assist. I also have a RDP pdf application if anybody wants to mail it in themselves.

Hello D, the two in Fort Mohave are from TriState CareFlight, they handle a bunch of areas in West AZ all the way up to Vegas and down to Parker and more. They have a division in NM as well. I personally would go with Kevins firm since he is an RD member and easy to reach, will answer any question you have and very cost effective PLUS I always try to give RDers my business.

 

[jet496]

Hell yea! I have personally had 3 incidences where friends or family had to be life flighted from Powell, Lake Navaho & Glamis. It was costly! This is something to consider if you're doing what we were. I'm not out there like I was, but still considering.

If you travel at all, domestically or internationally, we have great programs for Flying you back to the local hospital of your choice. The international one is truly from anywhere (maybe not North Korea? lol) to a US hospital of your choice. With this program, you're in control as long as the Dr. says you're stable. We even fly family members back with you, if there is room available on the plane, at no cost.

So how do I find out memebrship cost (I haven't had time to read most of this thread)? We are going to Costa Rica next week, and will be rock repelling, boating, etc, in the San Jose area. How's that work if I, or someone with me got hurt, God forbid?

Also, going to Vancuver in July. Going to Roatan Honduras & Cozumel sometime this year. I guess I am still out there a bit LOL.

Our program would cover you on those trips for getting you back home on a medical flight. RDP cost is $355 for one year out to $2905 for 10 year. There are 3 and 5 year plans between that. Effective immediately.

 

[Ragged Edge]

Something everyone should keep in mind on this. Even if your current medical insurance policy states they cover you 100%, know that they may decide that the flight was unnecessary and decline coverage. This is cheap insurance against that possibility. I have family that had this happen, three years later and still fighting it.

You guys are doing my job for me. Power of RDP!!

 

[QC22]

BTW, point of clarification. I mentioned a 10 year plan above. I can do that in most states, based on an address. CA is limited to one year memberships. Many of us have two addresses and there is no downside to choosing the one that fits best. Part of that decision may be about who lives at each address as our programs cover the entire "household".

[QC22]

A quick little reminder to those who have signed up, and I may have not mentioned yet. If you refer someone to me, and they sign up, the company will extend both yours, and the new member an additional 3 months on the end of your membership. They allow up to 4 referrals for a total of one year added to your term (max of 2 for 6 months in CA). So in the case of a new one year plan, the new member starts at 15 months and you get the 3 months added to whatever term length you originally chose.
