Out here in California I joined CalStar. It's a policy that provides helicopter transport all over the state for medical emergencies. I made sure it covers Redding
I looked into these, they are not policies, they are memberships, and found
it's a gamble if you will be covered or not.
The air service that the EMS service calls has to be in Calstar's "network"
and "available". It's up to the EMS as to which service they call. (probably
the one that bought their kid a new bicycle)
A quick look in the Redding area shows 4+ air services available
and only 1 (Reach Air) of the 4+ is in the Calstar network. If any other service
is called you are not covered by the membership.
It's the same story here in the Phoenix area. There's at least a dozen air services
and no single membership that covers all of them.
In network = covered
Out of network = not covered
