Over the past 12 months, residents covered by a PHI Cares municipal program have been flown over 1,500 times by PHI Air Medical. According to CNN, in 2024, "The average yearly deductible for an individual was $5,101. That number more than doubles for families, who had an average deductible of $10,310 per year." Based on this, it is reasonable to assess the PHI Cares municipal program has saved residents of these partnered communities over $7 Million a year.

PHOENIX, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 

  • Municipalities nationwide have enrolled or renewed with PHI Cares
  • Over 1,500 residents covered by PHI Cares municipality agreements were flown in the past year
  • Communities consider the program invaluable thanks to its proven success in saving lives and reducing citizen out-of-pocket medical expenses

"The PHI Cares municipal membership program protects thousands of citizens each and every day, and as more municipalities realize they can protect their residents with lifesaving emergency air services with no out-of-pocket expenses, the interest keeps growing."

Post this

PHI Cares, the membership program for PHI Air Medical is partnering with cities, towns and counties across the US to supply financial peace of mind when residents require vital, lifesaving emergency air medical transportation services. These partnerships provide a tax-payer benefit supporting each municipality's desire to save lives and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for their residents.

To date, more than 30 local governments nationwide have teamed up with the PHI Cares municipal program, with Copiah County, MS; Highland County, VA; and City of Smithville, TX among the latest to renew their agreements. The program, when contracted by a municipality, supplies residents with a geography limited PHI Cares membership. This covers out of pocket costs if a citizen needs a medically necessary flight by PHI Air Medical. Residents living inside the geographic limits are also offered the option to upgrade their memberships to be covered coast-to-coast for $30/year.

According to CNN, in 2024, "The average yearly deductible for an individual was $5,101. That number more than doubles for families, who had an average deductible of $10,310 per year." Based on this, it is reasonable to assess the PHI Cares municipal program has saved residents of these partnered communities over $7 Million a year.

Mark Leighton, President of PHI Cares, said "In an emergency, every second counts. Lifesaving care provided by an Air Ambulance can make the difference between life and death. Communities large and small demonstrate foresight by providing residents financial peace of mind for the vital services provided by PHI Air Medical. The PHI Cares municipal membership program protects thousands of citizens each and every day, and as more municipalities realize they can protect their residents with lifesaving emergency air services with no out-of-pocket expenses, the interest keeps growing."
