Veterans At Risk of Losing Access to Lifesaving Air Medical Flights

Posted By Administration, Thursday, December 8, 2022

If the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) goes through with a proposal to cut its reimbursement rate for emergency air medical services, millions of Veterans could lose access to this lifesaving service. This is especially dangerous for Veterans in rural areas where access to medical care is already limited.

Watch this video to hear from Robert Vanbrocklin, a Marine Corps Veteran who would not be here today without lifesaving air medical transport.

What can you do?

Contact the VA and your member of congress:

Visit SOAR's website to contact the VA and your member of congress about this important issue.

The @DeptVetAffairs is considering a change that could leave millions of Veterans without access to emergency air medical flights. Join me in calling on the VA to preserve access to this lifesaving service and delay any changes to its reimbursement rate.https://www.soarcampaign.com/take-action

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
