Air Methods Enters Two New Agreements

Denver, CO - Air medical transportation provider Air Methods Corporation announces it has entered into agreements with HCA MidAmerica and North Florida Divisions. Air Methods will provide medical communication services through its DirectCall Transfer Center for the MidAmerica Division, and has established a preferred provider agreement with the North Florida Division for air medical transport services.

As part of the MidAmerica Division agreement, Air Methods’ DirectCall Transfer Center will assist with inter-facility patient transports between the MidAmerica Division’s 18 affiliated hospitals and other surrounding medical centers. Air Methods’ DirectCall Transfer Center will manage all incoming and outgoing calls among the health system’s hospitals, physicians and other hospitals based on pre-established medical communication service policies and procedures. The MidAmerica Division has hospitals located in Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri. Operations are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

Effective immediately under the agreement with the North Florida Division, Air Methods is the preferred provider for air medical transport services for its Florida-affiliated hospitals located in Lake City, Gainesville and Ocala. The company’s existing air medical bases in Cross City and Lake City will work together with the North Florida Division to facilitate the inter-facility transfer of critically ill and injured patients requiring air transport.
