Narrative:

While returning from a patient transfer at 2;000 feet MSL (1;500 AGL) both myself and the nurse identified a crop duster (white in color) at 1 o-clock less than 1/8 mile. The visibility was 10 plus miles and clear of clouds with light haze. I entered a hard right turn to avoid a collision passing to the right side of the crop duster within 50 yards or less. The crop duster never changed direction or banked he remained on the same course. After recovering from the hard right turn; both crew members acknowledged they did not get the tail number of the plane. I checked my TCAS with no traffic indicated. Continued flight to base with no further issues.
