Medevac service buys insurance membership program

Alaska’s largest air medevac provider Guardian Flight bought ApolloMT, the state’s largest membership program.

Guardian Flight transports urgent and non-urgent patients from rural healthcare facilities to tertiary care facilities across Alaska.

In a press release, Guardian Flight stated current ApolloMT policyholders’ accounts will not change or be disrupted.

“Moving forward, customers can purchase the new program, AppolloMT by Guardian Flight, and receive the same peace of mind knowing that their remaining balances will be forgiven if transported by Guardian Flight,” the press release states.

The company offers medevac flight insurance for $125 a month per household.

“If you do end up utilizing your benefit, it could save you $50,000 in medevac costs,” said Apollo MT Vice President Timothy Baker.

The two companies were originally operated jointly, but for the past five years they were operated as separate entities before Guardian Flight purchased ApolloMT earlier this spring.
