Wiregrass Life Flight Base Closure Statement:
Wiregrass Life Flight shut down operations in Dothan on Wednesday, August 16th. The program served the area for almost two years but could not remain financially viable because of low reimbursement rates from insurers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Alabama Medicaid. High transport volume can offset low reimbursement rates but Wiregrass Life Flight’s volume was not sufficient for continued operations.
We would like to thank our hardworking and dedicatedemployees. They diligently established a high-caliber base of operations and always provided exceptional patient care. We also wish to thank Southeast Alabama Medical Center, Flowers Hospital, Pilcher’s Ambulance and all other hospitals, clinics, EMS and law enforcement agencies we have been able to work with the past two years. It has been an honor serving you and your patients.
