Peace of Mind for Under a Hundred Dollars: Get an Air Ambulance Membership Before You Travel

The industry's leading air ambulance company, AirMed International, gives advice for summer travel preparedness.

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) April 20, 2008 -- As the summer travel season approaches, AirMed International (airmed.com), the leader in the air ambulance industry, provides these top reasons why being prepared with medical evacuation coverage is more important than ever.

"A pre-paid air ambulance membership card is the most important item to take with you on your trip," says AirMed CEO Jeff Tolbert. "We've seen it happen countless times-- travelers get ill or injured while away from home and end up paying tens of thousands of dollars for a medical flight home. If you are an AirMed member, the cost is zero. So, whether you have an AirMed Traveler card in your wallet or another service, we urge you to be prepared this summer."

Top Reasons to Purchase an Air Ambulance Membership:

1. You are traveling. If you think an accident won't happen to you while you're on vacation, think again. Last year AirMed transported over 2,000 travelers with an average age of 44 years old. Do not chance the financial strain that will follow if you are hospitalized away from home.

2. Guess Who Isn't Covered? You. Your regular health insurance almost certainly doesn't have air medical benefits. Most trip insurance will only get you to the nearest facility, not home where you want to be.

3. No pre-existing condition clauses. No co-pays. No deductibles. As long as you're 150 miles or more from home, an AirMed membership has you covered.

4. Details, Details, Details. AirMed will take care of all details for you--bedside to bedside and on a 24/7 basis. Could you or your travel companion do that in a country where you don't speak the language?

5. It's very affordable. AirMed memberships start at just $95 for a two-week trip. Compare that with a medical transport flight that can cost in excess of $100,000. AirMed offers student memberships, short-term memberships, and the most popular of all--the annual membership.
