Program accomplishments
- LifeFlight of Maine had safely transported over 40,000 patients at the end of fiscal year 2025. 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 2025, LifeFlight employed those values in the transport of 2,876 patients. Of these patients, 1,027 were transported by ground ambulance, 256 by airplane, and 1,864 by helicopter. This represents a 12.1% increase in total volume from the prior year. 271 of these patients were transported by a combination of ground and air assets.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 while simultaneously investing heavily in our teams, our vehicles, education, and safety. To successfully fulfill its mission, LifeFlight of Maine relies on generous philanthropic support for 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 2025, LifeFlight wrote off $2,662,313 in bad debt (a 45.1% increase from the prior year), and $240,712 in charity care (a 23% decrease increase from the prior year). 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. In the few instances in which LifeFlight is not in network, patients are never "balance billed" for amounts beyond their plan deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. The Organization has a service contract in place with Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (NL-EMMC), an unrelated organization, under which EMMC provides LOM with Medical Direction and nursing services. This agreement remains in effect and allows the sharing of nursing and paramedic staff between EMMC and LOM. The Organization has a service contract in place with Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC), an unrelated organization (owned by a related organization, Central Maine Healthcare Corporation), under which LOM received Medical Direction Services, which were provided by Dr. Peter Tilney, a CMMC employee. An Aviation Operator Designed for MaineLifeFlight of Maine is the sole member of LifeFlight Aviation Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of LifeFlight of Maine. LifeFlight Aviation Services is certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a "Part 135 Air Carrier."

LifeFlight's customized program is purpose built for Maine and includes special procedures for Maine's unique operating environment.Expenses $25,797,804 · revenue $29,705,024
