"Very few of us plan for an injury or severe illness while traveling. But I know from first-hand experience that medical emergencies can happen when you least expect it," said Dr. Hubbert. “A low-cost AirMed Traveler membership surpasses travel insurance by bringing you to the hospital of your choice. Purchasing an AirMed membership through AEA’s member benefits program is the simple solution to unexpected travel emergencies.”
AEA’s extensive benefits program for its members is managed by Collateral Benefits Group. Through Collateral Benefits, AEA members will have the ability to join AirMed and deduct the cost of an annual membership through monthly payroll deduction. AEA members will receive a substantial discount off the annual rate through this exclusive offer. “We are honored that Dr. Hubbert and the AEA chose to endorse AirMed. It’s a testament to their commitment to providing the best benefits available for the membership,” said Jeff Tolbert, AirMed International CEO. “AEA members can now join more than 1 million AirMed travelers who enjoy peace of mind while away from home, knowing we will be there for them if they need us.”
