Rep Bobby Kaufmann urged release of information on air ambulance payments from UI Hospitals to Air Methods. The Gazette sought contract data, but the amount paid by Air Methods to UIHC remains blacked out, with court filings citing trade secret concerns. AirCare, UIHC and Air Methods all figure prominently in the longstanding program.

Air Methods billing scrutiny and patient bills rise

The report details Asher Vermeulen’s birth and airlift to Iowa City plus a $50 000 Air Methods bill later reduced to a $500 out of pocket payment amid lawsuits alleging price gouging. It covers other cases nationwide, patient concerns, insurer reimbursements, and efforts to aid bills. It notes Med-Trans LifeGuard Helicopters and Johnson County dispatch policies.
