Interesting tidbit of information:
EagleMed was asked to provide a helicopter (mostly for cardiac emergencies).
EagleMed refused.
Hospital looked elsewhere.
Business decisions on both sides. EagleMed must not have thought it was possible to get additional air ambulance services in small town.
Hospital decides to try to cease exclusive operations with EagleMed.
Nonetheless, people who are in need of air ambulance should have a choice, as there is now more than one option. This decision should never be left to the doctor, hospital, nurse, etc. People need to know their rights and the rights of their family members. Take the oportunity to ask these types of questions when involved in any healthcare decisions! Time is of the essence! Educate yourself now. |
