University of Nebraska Medical Center Protects Staff Traveling Overseas

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (July 14, 2009) – Faculty and staff of The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) have begun enrolling in Birmingham-based Air Ambulance Card®’s membership program. UNMC now requires all faculty and staff traveling outside of the continental US on official business to purchase the plans at special rates that allow employees to cover their families at no extra charge. Under the partnership, members who are sick or injured 150 miles or more from home, domestically or internationally, will be flown home to the hospital of their choice.
Air Ambulance Card memberships have been included as a part of the UNMC Private Medical Practice program for two years. UNMC doctors sought out the coverage after arranging a patient’s air medical transport from Italy that cost $150,000. “We know the serious financial risk associated with travel without medical evacuation coverage,” said UNMC’s Keith Swarts. “These memberships protect the staff, protect their families and protect the medical center from the financial hardships that accompany the kinds of medical emergencies we see every day.”
UNMC faculty and staff can purchase discounted Air Ambulance Card memberships online using their UNMC email address at www.AirAmbulanceCard.com/UNMC. Employees can use UNMC’s internal procurement card or can purchase the membership personally by using their own credit card. “With these memberships, UNMC employees and their families can travel with the peace of mind of knowing if something goes wrong, we’ll be there to bring them home,” said Stan Bradley, managing director of Air Ambulance Card.
UNMC is the only public health science center in the state. Through their commitment to education, research, patient care and outreach, UNMC and its hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center, have established themselves as one of the country’s leading centers in cancer, transplantation biology, bioterrorism preparedness, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, genetics, biomedical technology and ophthalmology. UNMC’s physician practice group, UNMC Physicians, includes 513 physicians in 50 specialties and subspecialties who practice primarily in The Nebraska Medical Center. For more information, go to UNMC’s Web site at www.unmc.edu.
Air Ambulance Card provides travelers with prepaid hospital-to-hospital air ambulance service, domestically and abroad.  The membership program offers services for a period of one year to families or individuals, and corporate accounts.  Air Ambulance Card memberships are available to residents of the U.S. and Canada and cost $195 per year for individuals and $295 per year for families.  For more information visit www.AirAmbulanceCard.com.
