Air Evac Lifeteam Medical Crew Excels at Skills Competition

The medical team of flight nurse Missy Ice and flight paramedic Alex Stringer recently competed at the Air Medical Transport Conference Sim Cup. The team, from the Effingham, Ill., Air Evac Lifeteam base, placed third in the international competition.

The Sim Cup is an annual critical care skills competition, and utilizes the latest in patient simulation. Twelve teams compete head-to-head to showcase their medical skills in real time. Air Evac Lifeteam holds a company-wide human patient simulator skills competition each year, to prepare the medical teams for the AMTC Sim Cup. Missy and Alex won the Air Evac competition in 2016, and were selected to compete at the AMTC Sim Cup in October 2017.

Frequently Asked Questions:

If I am a member but end up being transported by a ground ambulance or another air ambulance service, who is responsible for the bill?

If an AirMedCare Network Provider does not transport you, you will be responsible for payment. Our membership program only covers transports provided by our affiliates.

Is there a limit to the number of transports a member can have in a year?

There is no limit to the number of transports a member may take in a year. Each transport is handled the same way and must be an emergent or time-sensitive transport as determined by a physician (or other appropriate provider) or first responder unaffiliated with AMCN.

Can I cover all of my family on the membership?

With an AirMedCare Network membership, any person or persons who reside under one (residential) roof are covered. In the event we have a member who lives in a duplex or apartment complex, we designate the primary member’s residence/address— that is considered the “one roof”. Undergraduate college students can be covered under their parent’s membership as well as anyone previously residing in the household who is then moved to a permanent care facility.
