What does the PHI Air Medical coverage map show?

It shows the areas served by PHI Air Medical, including base locations, the brand operating in each area, and the approximate coverage radius around each base. You can search by zip code or location at PHICares.com/coverage-map to find the nearest bases.

How far can a PHI Air Medical helicopter travel from its base?

Helicopters can fly more than 200 nautical miles, and the map shows a conservative 150 nautical mile radius around each base. A fixed-wing aircraft based in Redding, California extends the reach up to 600 nautical miles for longer transfers.

How do I find the nearest air medical base to me?

Go to the coverage map at PHICares.com/coverage-map and search by your zip code or a location name. It returns the closest bases and the helicopters that serve that area, which helps for both home and travel planning.

Am I covered if I travel outside my home area?

PHI Cares membership covers you and your household for PHI Air Medical services wherever you travel, as long as the transport is by PHI Air Medical or a cooperative partner. Checking the coverage map before a trip shows whether you are within range of a base.

If I am flown by PHI Air Medical, what does a PHI Cares membership cover?

When PHI Air Medical or a cooperative partner performs a medically necessary transport for a member, PHI Cares covers your out-of-pocket cost for that flight. We accept what your insurance pays as payment in full, with no copays, no deductibles, and no coinsurance.
