Air Methods to provide emergency air transport to the City of Neodesha

The City of Neodesha, Kansas, has entered into a one-call agreement with Air Methods to provide emergency air transport services to locals in need.

Air Methods will be the primary air transport service for residents of the city for both transportation from local hospitals and direct from scene air transport.

The City of Neodesha is a rural community, so it requires fast, reliable air medical services for emergencies. Now, Air Methods’ local MedFlight program will provide critical care.

Mayor Devin Johnson said: “We used to provide air medical memberships through a similar service for our residents, but through this agreement, there is no longer a need for individual memberships.

“With this new one-call agreement with Air Methods, we still have this same peace of mind, knowing that we can rely on highly trained clinicians to take care of our residents in the most critical situations as they arise.”

Patients will have the option to request a different air transport provider, if available. However, since the introduction of the No Surprises Act earlier this year, insured patients are protected from large balance bills related to emergency care. Therefore, the patient will only be responsible for their deductible or co-pay regardless of the transport provider.

“We are very excited to enter into this agreement with the City of Neodesha,” said Air Methods Regional Sales Director, Aaron Bradshaw. “Our crewmembers’ expertise is unparalleled, and we have confidence in our program’s ability to meet the critical care needs of Neodesha r
