LifeFlight continues to focus on its values, which include uncompromising standards for safety, for clinical excellence, for each mission, and for our team. In Fiscal Year 2023, LifeFlight employed those values in the transport of 2,468 patients. Nearly one in five patients were transported by ground ambulance in partnership with other ambulance providers across the State of Maine and beyond. Flight volume increased by nearly 9% from FY2022. Continued on Schedule OContinued from Part III, Line 4aLifeFlight transports patients needing the most advanced critical care transport available, and does so using helicopters, an airplane, and ground ambulances. The Organization works tirelessly to keep costs low while delivering the safest and highest-quality care possible. We do this through a lean management structure and modest facilities all while investing heavily in our teams and our vehicles. Importantly, LifeFlight of Maine relies heavily on philanthropic contributions to support strategic initiatives and capital equipment. These contributions are raised by the LifeFlight Foundation, without which LifeFlight would not be able to do what it does at the level it does it. In Fiscal Year 2023, LifeFlight wrote off $1,745,974 in bad debt, and $224,134 in charity care. LifeFlight continues to offer a robust and industry-leading charity care program. The Organization prides itself in ethical collection practices and works closely with patients that have out of pocket responsibility to create reasonable payment plans. We pride ourselves in advocating for our patients from the moment we are entrusted with their care. This includes clinically and financially. LifeFlight seeks to be in network with all major commercial payers. Collaboration Across Northern New EnglandLifeFlight of Maine is the only dedicated air medical provider in the State of Maine. New Hampshire has Dartmouth Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART). Massachusetts has Boston MedFlight, UMass Life Flight, and LIFE STAR. All five of these services are part of North East Air Alliance Critical Care Transport System (NEAA), and this system is designed to deliver critical care to the point of need as quickly and efficiently as possible. These services communicate regularly, so that their response in an emergency is well-coordinated. In October 2023, for example, teams from Boston MedFlight, UMass Life Flight, and DHART responded within minutes after receiving a call for assistance from LifeFlight of Maine after the shooting in Lewiston.LifeFlight of Maine transports about 2,500 patients each year. Most of those transports originate in Maine, but not all. As an independent, nonprofit critical care provider and a member of the NEAA, LifeFlight is committed to being there when needed. In 2023, 96 LifeFlight of Maine transports originated in New Hampshire, and in each case the patient was transported to the nearest medical facility capable of providing the necessary level of care, whether that facility was in Boston, Bangor, Portland, Portsmouth, or elsewhere. 18758467 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 1 45 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 X John Doyle 2079739081 189 Odlin Road Bangor ME 04401 X Peter Cartmell Director of Operations, LFAS 40.00 0.00 X 106995 0 12495 Thomas McDevitt Rotor Wing Base Lead, LFAS 40.00 0.00 X 102688 0 15028 Greg LaFrancois Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Littleson Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Daigneault Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Danielson Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Quentin Walz Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Dentry Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Norman Dinerman MD FACEP Steering Committee Member 25.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Paulosky Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zach Brandwein Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Edelman MD Past Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mackenzie Lyman Past Steering Committee Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Judge Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Cyr Chief Operating Officer 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Kellner Chief Financial Officer 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 209683 0 27523 2 0 0 0 Eastern Maine Medical Center 43 Whiting Hill Road Suite 400 Brewer ME 04412 Nurses/Medical Director Staffing 1836606 Agusta Westland 3050 Red Lion Road Philadelphia PA 19114 Flight Hours 1499871 Central Maine Medical Center 300 Main Street Lewiston ME 04240 Nurse and Paramedic Staffing 1369006 Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp 1000 Marie-Victorin Blvd Longueuil Quebec CA J4G 1A1 Engine Flight Hours/Service 818841 LifeFlight Foundation PO Box 859 Augusta ME 04332 Fundraising Staffing 697054 12 6401205 6401205 Net Patient Service Revenue 621910 21735143 21735143 Other Income 621910 99267 99267 21834410 21612 0 21612 21612 21612 51000 6676 44324 44324 44324 28301551 21834410 0 65936 X 692204 549945 142259 20994 16679 4315 154930 123089 31841 63451 50411 13040 1326745 1326745 6954 6954 54859 54859 5542188 5542188 15801 15801 320341 214489 105852 2392617 2392617 2024749 1895278 129471 97331 97331 13561 13561 276068 276068 1318267 1318267 1205349 1205349 Medical Expenses 3928056 3928056 Miscellaneous Expenses 619656 617893 1763 Aviation Operation 517246 517246 20591367 18758467 1832900 0 X 2193736 4527878 4719 3591221 3498559 82240 249822 591153 1023625 35741075 11617181 18197145 24123894 1554660 11686789 6715155 36347003 41693593 545796 1086029 5096217 4476403 2975109 3239946 2921706 4187463 11538828 12989841 X 16596917 25129963 8211258 3573789 24808175 28703752 36347003 41693593 X 7710184 -3814607 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2481170 7342807 2633613 3811350 6401205 22670145 12147558 14396662 15365875 19551088 21834410 83295593 14628728 21739469 17999488 23362438 28235615 105965738 0 0 0 105965738 1188 21612 21612 44412 1188 21612 21612 44412 14629916 21739469 17999488 23384050 28257227 106010150 0.99960 0.99990 0.00040 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2786 2786 0 Part II-B, Line 1: The Organization pays dues to various organizations, a portion of which are attributable to lobbying expenses. 651846 203648 448198 35026007 11413533 23612474 63222 63222 24123894 Interest in Net Assets of Financially Interrelated Organization 6187464 Interest Rate Swaps 429718 Due from Related Parties 97973 6715155 Due to Third Party Payors 7671 Due to Members and Other Related Parties 2633712 Operating Lease Liability 1546080 4187463 A Finance Authority of ME 010392006 2017-01-30 2500000 Helicopter purchase 0 0 0 B Town of Camden Maine 016000097 2017-01-30 4000000 Helicopter purchase 0 0 0 C Town of Camden Maine 016000097 2015-06-05 2250000 Equipment purchase 0 0 0 A 927783 2500000 28551 2471449 2017 0 0 1 1 B 1506681 4000000 34266 3965734 2017 0 0 1 1 C 1800000 2250000 2250000 2015 0 0 1 1 A 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 B 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 C 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 A 0 0 1 0 1 1 Bangor Savings Bank 15.000000000000 1 0 0 0 1 B 0 0 1 0 1 1 Bangor Savings Bank 15.000000000000 1 0 0 0 1 C 0 0 1 0 1 1 Bangor Savings Bank 10.000000000000 1 0 0 0 1 A 1 B 1 C 1 Form 990, Part III, line 2 LifeFlight has historically partnered with ground EMS agencies to deliver ground critical care transport for short distance transport for patients needing intensive care services with low time urgency or for patients when weather precludes safety of helicopter transport.
