Tell Congress to Protect Emergency Air Medical Services

Posted By Monica J. Newman, Wednesday, June 29, 2022

The SOAR Campaign is hearing reports of insurance companies withholding and delaying claims to air medical providers; significantly underpaying for service or simply not paying at all; and sometimes refusing to respond to providers. This bad behavior has already resulted in the closure of an air medical base and threatens many more across the country. 

Tell Congress to Protect Emergency Air Medical Services and prevent insurer bad behavior and allow air medical providers to continue to serve rural America.

From,

The SOAR Campaign

Substance Abuse in HEMS Industry - Survey

Posted By Monica J. Newman, Thursday, July 12, 2012

Participate in a ground-breaking survey on substance abuse in the HEMS industry. 

There is currently no data available on substance abuse specific to either pre-hospital emergency medical services or air medical personnel.  The purpose of this anonymous survey is to to (1) break the silence, (2) identify the prevalence in HEMS and (3) initiate an industry-wide conversation on how to cope with this challenging issue. Where is the balance between retaining highly trained, experienced Air Medical Providers, and zero tolerance for putting lives at risk?

The survey will be available through September.   The data will be presented at a lecture at AMTC12 in Seattle, Washington. We thank you for taking the time to take this survey!
