Not Just An Insurance Company
The real benefit of being a Harvey Watt & Company policyholder is the loss prevention, medical assistance, and recertification assistance programs.
Loss Prevention
We believe the best way to protect your income is to keep you in the cockpit. That’s why our medical department is available to policyholders – free of charge. Their goal is to provide medical advice that may help you avoid disability and loss of your license.
You’ll also receive a complimentary subscription to the Aviation Medical Bulletin. For nearly 30 years our publication has been filled with up-to-date, helpful information that is particularly relevant to those whose good health is critical to their livelihoods. It’s accurate, concise and printed in an understandable format. Pilots and their families read it, like it, and learn from it.
Medical Assistance
While today’s lifestyles are better and people are generally healthier, most people don’t take their health seriously until they’re faced with a problem. The result of this attitude is all too often disastrous. This situation can frequently be changed through proactive attention to health and preventative medical input.
Our medical department staff will interface with pilots and their individual attending physicians to make sure the right steps, treatments and medication are being prescribed, to both solve the medical problem and allow continued flying, where possible.
Recertification Assistance
We have nearly 50 years of experience in assisting in the rehabilitation and recertification of pilots who lose their license due to a disability.
Utilizing Harvey Watt & Co., you have direct, toll-free access to assistance in the following:
- Aeromedical resource regarding:
- FAA regulations and special requirements which must be met in order for pilots with certain medical conditions to fly.
- Medications that are acceptable or not acceptable to the FAA.
- Nearly 50 years experience working with the Federal Air Surgeon’s office and the Aeromedical Certification office in Oklahoma City. We know the intricacies of the system and can often significantly shorten a pilot’s down time and expedite his return to flying.
- Interpretation of all the FAA medical standards and policies of Part 67.13 of the F.A.R.s which oftentimes are not specific and need interpretation.
- Provide aeromedical input to disabled pilots with emphasis on expeditious return to flying.
What Does All Of This Mean To You, The Pilot?
We are as well known for helping pilots return to flying as we are for payment of claims.
Our years of experience in medical assistance and supervision of claimants definitely show that we get pilots back on flight status sooner than when unassisted.
Remember, we provide:
Good Luck and Good Flying!
