PSA......Insurance advice..

[Tuffbroadhead]

I know that there are ALOT of good people doing without when it comes to medical insurance because of monthly cost and massive deductibles.

In case of a medical emergency that requires Careflite you can save yourself alot of heartache with the 49.00 Careflite yearly membership..

Its a 49.00 plan that I had no idea even existed..now I do.

I wished I knew about it last week, now I have a $36,605.00 bill from careflite and the rest of the Doc bills and Hospital bills have not even started coming in yet

10 min flight $3660.00 every 60 seconds...

I've had it for years. Started in the FD for $10/yr. Continued after I retired and became free when I turned 65.

Wow, my care flight was only around 15K.

Arent there multiple companies aside from careflight that do this? So if someone did the careflight plan, what if another carrier came instead?

Man, I hope you/loved ones are OK. FYI, that air ambulance bill is usually easily negotiated for a one-time payment. They may take $10K (perhaps less depending on the company). All in the negotiation.

Insurance generally caps what they pay on a medical helicopter transport. If you are a member of Careflight or a similar company, they agree to accept whatever the insurance pays, thus the benefit of membership.
