This will only apply to flights operated by Trans Aero MedEvac and will be subject to certain state rules. Limitations may be found at transaeromedevac.org/membership-enrollment.

Trans Aero MedEvac will be working with local community leadership, hospitals, and fire departments to rapidly spread the message that each citizen of Eddy County now has this benefit.  Information will also be sent out to residents, outlining the advantages they will receive from a membership.  

Charlie Nolen, Assistant Program Director, said of the announcement: “Trans Aero MedEvac is proud to serve the region with the highest level of critical care, and, through this partnership with the city of Artesia, to alleviate the stress typically associated with a post-flight medical bill.”
