HOW IT WORKS

PHI Air Medical works closely with local fire departments, ground ambulances, law enforcement agencies, medical facilities, and physicians, to ensure safe, expedient, and lifesaving care for our patients. In case of an emergency requiring medical evacuation or transport, you can expect the following as a member of PHI Air Medical:

  • Air Medical Transport is required: If the 911 dispatcher or emergency personnel determine the patient requires an air medical transport, they will request an air ambulance.
  • When PHI Air Medical Responds: Trained professionals are on their way with critical care supplies and medications found in a hospital emergency room or intensive care unit.
  • Immediate Safe Transport: Highly trained, experienced pilots take you to the nearest medical center giving you the greatest chance of full recovery.
  • Your Costs are Covered: With a PHI Cares Membership purchased separately, you have peace of mind because PHI will work with your insurance provider and accept the insurance payment as “payment-in-full” for any medically-necessary transport.
