Questions about air ambulance membership in Bay City
Does my PHI Cares membership cover an Allegiance Air flight?
Yes. Allegiance Mobile Health is a PHI Air Medical cooperative partner. A medically necessary flight by PHI Air Medical or a cooperative partner carries $0 out-of-pocket responsibility for members, under the membership Terms and Conditions.
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 Matagorda 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 an Allegiance Mobile Health 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.
