American Motorcyclist Association members can now purchase air medical transport protection for less, for use when travelling in the United States or abroad, thanks to a new member benefit discount from the MedjetAssist  air medical transport membership program.

"One of motorcycling's great joys is discovering parts unknown, but mishaps happen and when they happen far from home, it can be enormously inconvenient, stressful and expensive," said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. "Air medical transfer services from MedjetAssist  can put your mind at ease when you ride in unfamiliar areas."

MedjetAssist provides air medical transport for its members who become hospitalized during domestic or international travel, whether traveling on your motorcycle or not. MedjetAssist's service eliminates all costs beyond its membership fee for medical transport to a home-country hospital of your choice.

"AMA members have always recognized that motorcycles are great tools for exploration," said Roy Berger, President and CEO of MedjetAssist. "We're pleased to provide these savings to members who seek roads and trails less traveled so they can focus on the ride, knowing that help will come just when they need it most."

To take advantage of a 16 percent discount off MedjetAssist's  regular annual rate for members under age 75, AMA members can visit MedjetAMA.com or call MedjetAssist  at (800) 527-7478 and reference their American Motorcyclist Association membership. Multi-year and short-term membership is also available as well as Motorcycle Transfer Protection.
