Global Medical Response (GMR) has announced a multi-year agreement with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX).

BCBSTX members will gain in-network access to GMR’s emergency air medical transports, covering all 354 counties in Texas and including services including AeroCare, Air Evac Lifeteam, Methodist Aircare and REACH Air Medical.  Members will also be provided non-emergency services from AirMed International.

“More than 3 million Texans live in a rural area where access to a Level 1 or 2 trauma centre can be more than an hour away by ground ambulance, and emergency air medical transports serve as a safety net where access to care is limited due to the closure of more and more of the state’s rural hospitals,” stated Steve Dralle, President of South Region.

GMR companies provide over 12,000 air medical transports in Texas each year and combined with other in-network agreements, Medicare and Medicaid, will mean that 82% of GMR’s Texas emergent air transports are covered.
