Reporter lowes bill came Ambulance Companies with more than 370 helicopters operating in 48 states. The publicly traded air methods posted profits last year of m 100 million. Even as Insurance Companies complained their bills were excessive. Its ceo, aaron todd, earned almost 500 million aircraft hike this serves about a 150mile radius. Reporter but he sent someone else to answer our questions at one of their bases in rural we serve 82 million rural americans across the country who would not have access to trauma care within the critical hour, whats called the golden reporter air methods Vice President paul webster said the company is willing to lower its bill for those who can prove financial hardship. He says the real Problem Companies and medicare and medicaid wont cover the full cost of helicopter flights. If everybody paid their fair share, charge for this service would be . Youre shifting the cost to people who have insurance, and when their insurance doesnt pay, you go after other choice is you put them into bankruptcy . The other choice is this service and this access goes away. S not, say the people who run a nonprofit air ambulance service, set up by five hospitals in the dallas area. Care flight. So were going to this Brown Building here reporter the company with its own fleet of stateoftheart aircraft this is an 8 million orter charges substantially less and does not use debt collectors to go after its patients.

And medina questions whether her daughters 37milerip was necessary. It took almost an hour for the helicopter just to arrive and load, and she was able to drive the distance in almost the same amount of time. I left a few minutes before and ended up arriving at the hospital about five minutes after they did. Reporter air methods said its flight crews provide medical care that a groundt. The same thing could not have been accomplished on the ground. That she receives inside the helicopter. Reporter according to the flight logs for medinas, no extraordinary treatments were necessary. If the patient really isnt time sensitive, we can take them by ground and were a re not going to try to figure out the most expensive way to do it. Reporter the decision to call in a helicopter ambulance is made by attending doctors. But the families, like thekentucky, are the ones on the hook for the cost.

They said, dont, its just a standard form, just give us permission to transport your daughter. Reporter nowhere on the standard form does it inform the patient or why dont you put the price here . I can get back with you on the Vice President in charge of this. Why dont you put the price here so people know what theyre signing on for . Sure, its a question that iou dont know the answer . No, i dont. Never been raised before . No, it has not. Reporter state insurance regulators say they have been in the prices or tactics air methods and other helicopter Ambulance Services because of a loophole in the federal law. Al redner is the insuranceoner in maryland. When the federal government deregulated the airlines industry,licopter companies were part of that. As if theyre major air carriers . Thats right. You cant regulate them because of faa rules . They can get away with these charges, charge whatever they want . They can, they can.
