Air Methods and our local flight programs provide safe and reliable lifesaving treatment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our highly-trained clinicians are held to the highest standards in critical care transport. Their knowledge and expertise is taking prehospital care above and beyond. Backed by research insights from Optum, we treat more time-sensitive conditions like stroke, trauma, and head injury than our competition, and we do it with the highest clinical quality score in the industry. The insights also show patients transported by us are associated with lower post-event healthcare costs, including 65 percent lower for trauma patients and 24 percent lower for all patients.

Air Methods has invested over $100 million in advanced safety programs and technologies.

Air Methods’ development and investment in safety programs, including IEP, FOQA, and FAA Recognized SMS, is unmatched in the air medical industry.

Every Air Methods aircraft is fully equipped with advanced technology including NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System), HTAWS (Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems), ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast), and XM/GPS satellite tracking

Air Methods is installing Honeywell Tracker III, a real-time safety tracking system, on all aircraft for enhanced crew and patient safety above FAA requirements. To learn more about our industry leading safety click here.

We are committed to providing our requestors with the most accurate ETE possible, so that you can focus on the patient, not when your transport will arrive.

Air medical transport ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) is a best estimate for when you can expect your transport to arrive. Receiving an ETE means that dispatch will add estimated lift time and flight time to give you a number of minutes that you can expect our aircraft to arrive. Only receiving part of this equation can lead to misleading transport timing.

Air Methods is one of the only air medical providers to train pilots on Level-D full-motion simulators that replicate an actual helicopter. Our pilots have completed nearly 500,000 take offs and landings on full-motion simulators.

Over the last few years, we have made significant investments to ensure patients are taken out of the middle.

Air Methods is an in-network provider with many insurance companies throughout the country, including Medicare and Medicaid. We are actively negotiating with others so that we can partner with as many insurance companies as possible. We have increased the number of in-network agreements we have with commercial health plans by five-fold over the last several years. Click here for our up to date in-network insurance listing.
