South Texas' Nonprofit Air Ambulance
As a HALO-Flight Guardian Plan Member, if you or your enrolled dependents require our service, we will bill your insurances (if any). As a condition of receiving this benefit, I hereby assign (hand over) to HALO‐Flight all rights and benefits that I, or the other family members of my residence have, under any and all medical, health, supplemental, worker’s compensation, liability, auto or homeowner’s insurance policies or plans, or from other third party payers or sources which provide coverage or would otherwise pay for air ambulance services. Such payment sources are collectively referred to in this agreement as ‘insurance.’
By enrolling in this Membership Plan, which is not an insurance product, you authorize payment of all insurance benefits or payments to HALO‐Flight relative to the incident for which we provided air medical service. I understand that HALO‐Flight will, whenever it deems it feasible, file claims for and directly collect the benefits payable from insurance, up to the amount of HALO‐Flight’s charges for its services. When requested by HALO‐Flight, I agree to complete any forms and take any other reasonable action that may be necessary to collect such amounts. If I or anyone on my behalf receives any insurance or other third-party payments for services provided by HALO‐Flight, I will promptly forward those payments to HALO‐Flight at 1843 FM 665, Corpus Christi, TX 78415.
Your Membership Agreement applies only to HALO-Flight, Inc. or our reciprocal partner, Dallas CareFlite. It covers dependent family members who live in the same household and are listed on the application, including dependent children, custodial and non-custodial children. If another household member is not considered a dependent, they will need to purchase their own plan. Guardian Plan Membership includes membership cards for the primary member listed on the application, along with two vehicle decals identifying you as a member.
Medicaid recipients are not eligible to purchase a HALO-Flight Guardian Plan due to state regulations; however, we still provide transport for these patients when called into service by First Responders or Physicians, based on medical need.
Payments can be made by cash, check, money order or credit card. New Membership is effective 14 days after receipt and verification of payment. There is no waiting period for renewing Members.
Guardian Membership does not guarantee service. HALO-Flight Guardian Membership Plan benefits are limited to medically necessary services, defined as a need for emergent helicopter air ambulance transport within our service area or to the nearest appropriate trauma or medical center. HALO-Flight is not a private air ambulance, and the need for transport must meet the Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council Bypass Protocol or a physician’s diagnosis indicating that alternative transportation would be medically inappropriate for the patient’s condition. The service is not intended for the convenience of a provider, physician or patient. HALO-Flight reserves the right to deny any request that does not meet medical necessity or shows signs of suspected membership abuse. If abuse is found, HALO-Flight may terminate the membership.
If a member requires service from our reciprocal partner, they will be subject to the partner’s terms and conditions.
In an emergency, focus on care, not costs.
