The City of Globe has released the following:
“The City of Globe, Arizona City Council has approved their air medical agreement with PHI Cares, a division of PHI Air Medical, a leading U.S. helicopter-based medical transport provider. Local residents requiring authorized emergency air medical transport from the City of Globe or its adjacent counties, Gila, Pinal, Maricopa, or Coconino Counties, will benefit from no out-of-pocket expenses when utilizing PHI Air Medical thanks to the agreement. The municipal agreement is effective from August 13, 2024 – August 12, 2025.
Importantly, the agreement includes residents not on Medicaid who aren’t covered by existing medical insurance or have no third party responsible for their medical transport. In all other cases, PHI Air Medical works with the resident’s insurance provider to resolve claims for medically necessary transports to ensure members face no out-of-pocket expenses, so they can focus on what matters most, their recovery.
As an additional benefit of this agreement, residents qualify for Coast-to-Coast coverage at a subsidized $30/year per household. This optional expanded plan provides coverage for residents to be flown by PHI Air Medical when they travel out of the county, giving them peace of mind whenever and wherever they travel. Household coverage also extends to resident’s household dependents – the entire household remains covered, even when picked up outside the coverage area. To enroll in Coast-to-Coast coverage for the City of Globe contact Carrie Brookshire, PHI Senior Membership Sales Manager at 855-462-9272 or visit https://phicares.com/globe-az/
In emergencies, residents should contact 911. Following a flight, the resident flown or representative on their behalf should notify PHI Cares at 1.888.I.Fly.PHI (1.888.435.9744) and supply the County membership number #031505 and any transport details available.”
