CALSTAR 4 BARF Members

Thanks MCOM, got the paperwork from you, owe ya a cold frosty beverage.
 
Got my cards already. A letter was enclosed stating that Calstar and REACH do not have reciprocity, seems like they did last year. Anybody have both?

Any reason why you would purchase this in addition to health insurance? Sure, it's cheap (especially when compared to a 5 figure airlift), but it seems like this would be covered under a good health plan, no?

EDIT: Seriously asking...I know it may vary policy to policy but does anyone have any knowledge here?

:rofl:rofl:rofl...

Considering that the cost of health ins has increased by the amount that I would have gotten a raise for for in the last 3 yrs and that's even going for a crappier plan.

If I am found partially responsible for an accident "I MAY" be billed for transport....

Add the almost doubling the workman's comp for what I do and it's out of control. For every dollar I take home $.63 goes somewhere else...
 
If you figure most plans are 80/20 with a several hundred dollar deductible...50 dollars or whatever per household per year is no big deal.
 
hmm, I see an option for $30 as well, does that mean we have over 150 people signed up now?

I know its only a $5 dollar difference, but is everyone clicking the $35 dollar option.
 
Heh. Just saw this, minutes after dropping my Enloe membership payment in the mail. They reciprocate with CALSTAR, don't they?

Enloe is the best one to get. They reciprocate with BOTH Calstar and Reach. Unless they've changed in the past year Calstar and Reach don't reciprocate with each other.
 
Enloe has you covered

+1 Get Enloe for $25 (Thunderhill group rate) and you're covered.

From the REACH website: "As a member of our REACH for Life program, you pay nothing for an emergency air medical transport provided by REACH or one of our reciprocating service partners (Cal-Ore Life Flight of Western Oregon and Enloe Flight Care of Chico, California)."

Thanks for putting together the group rate :)
 
The linked group rate website gives two options:

Group Membership (15+) - 1 Year - $35.00
Group Membership (150+) - 1 Year - $30.00

I think it's safe to assume this group is 15+ strong; how about 150+?
 
RIDING SEASON IS ON THE HORIZON

please follow the links in my signature for info and/or sign up. $35 is way better than paying 20k+ for an airlift!

'Bay Area Riders Forum' as the group name

stay safe out there you guys!

If you bought CalStar, you might need REACH too, they definitely answer calls to Infineon. Should have bought Enloe, they have reciprocity with REACH, who apparently don't play well with the others.
 
Darn, I just signed up last week!
 
i wish i had the foresight for this BEFORE my $32k airlift bill!!!
