NEW MEMBER BENEFIT
With its rugged mountains and beautiful islands, the Pacific Northwest is such an amazing place to live and play. What happens, however, if you or your family member is seriously injured in an area far from a hospital? Medical transportation by air may be necessary, but many insurance plans do not provide full coverage for transport services. UW Medicine’s Airlift Northwest covers
your out-of-pocket air transport expenses through the AirCare Program. UW Medicine’s Airlift Northwest program is proud to offer our members in Washington and Southeast Alaska a discounted annual membership for the AirCare program: $69 for Washington residents and $89 for SE Alaska residents ($10 off the regular price).
