About PHI Cares

PHI Cares is a membership-based program that covers any out-of-pocket expenses for medically-necessary air transports aboard a PHI Air Medical or one of its cooperative service partners’ aircraft.

Membership with PHI Cares ensures you and your qualified household dependents are covered for emergency air transports. As a member, PHI Air Medical will work with your insurance provider to accept the insurance payment or other third-party payment as “payment in full” for any medically-necessary transport from one medical facility to another or from the scene of an emergency. PHI Air Medical has more than 60 flight bases across the United States with a helicopter service range of up to 200 nautical miles. PHI Cares membership plans start as low as $40 a year which is one of the most competitive in the industry and extends discounts to PHI employees, EMS workers and Veteran and Military personnel.

PHI Cares has two main channels for growth: Direct-to-consumer, led by Mark Leighton, and Municipality, which is led by Brian Coutts.

Brian has led the Municipality business for many years at PHI, and it is a program that focuses on PHI Cares memberships for cities, counties and managed groups where PHI Air Medical is the preferred provider when responding to a request for air medical transport.
