SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - For members of the Scottsbluff/Gering United Chamber of Commerce, there’s never been a better time to enroll in the AirMedCare Network (Air Link) membership program. Membership discounts are now available to Chamber members and their employees.

The Air Link membership program is available to residents of Regional West Medical Center’s service area. For a low annual enrollment fee, members of the program pay no out-of-pocket costs if an emergency requires them to use Air Link air ambulance or another participating partner of the AirMedCare Network, which includes more than 200 locations across 28 states.

The AirMedCare Network works with a member's insurance company or benefits providers to secure payment for Air Link flights. Whatever a member's insurance company or benefits provider pays is then considered payment-in-full for an Air Link or other participating provider flight. Further information is available by calling AirMedCare Network Membership Department at 800-793-0010, visiting AirMedCareNetwork.com, or calling local Membership Manager Michelle Beeney at 308-641-7833.

Chamber of Commerce members and their families, including all Regional West Health Services employees, can enroll now for $55 for one year. Multi-year memberships are also available and offer additional savings.

Air Link has provided highly skilled flight nurse/paramedic teams since 1995 to care for both adult and pediatric patients; increasing medical emergency and trauma survival rates and cutting transportation times in half. The program operates throughout a 150-mile radius that spans western Nebraska, eastern Wyoming, southern South Dakota, and northern Colorado.
