Questions about air ambulance membership in Troy
Does my PHI Cares membership cover a Medstar LifeFlight flight?
Yes, for PHI Air Medical's billing. Medstar LifeFlight is a PHI Air Medical cooperative partner, and members have $0 out-of-pocket responsibility for PHI Air Medical's billing on medically necessary flights, under the membership Terms and Conditions. PHI Air Medical bills your insurance company and accepts the insurance payment as payment in full.
Who decides if a helicopter is sent?
In a medical emergency, always call 911. In most cases, the ground EMS crew first on the scene decides whether a helicopter is needed and requests one. For a transfer between hospitals, the patient's doctor requests the flight, and members can ask for PHI Air Medical when possible.
Does my membership work outside Oakland County?
Yes. Membership benefits apply to medically necessary flights by PHI Air Medical or a cooperative partner, wherever those flights happen. What matters is who performs the flight, not where you live. PHI Air Medical has 71 membership bases in 14 states.
Does my membership cover a Medstar ground ambulance?
No. Some cooperative partners also run ground ambulances, so the same name may appear on a helicopter and on an ambulance. A PHI Cares membership applies to air medical transport.
How much is a PHI Cares membership in Michigan?
One membership covers your whole household: $75 for 1 year, $195 for 3 years, $295 for 5 years or $585 for 10 years. You can also pay $8.99 a month.
Membership in the PHI Cares Program is not an insurance product. PHI Cares does not cover and will not pay or reimburse you for services performed by any other air medical transport services provider or any ground ambulance services provider.
