The Town Council of the Town of Superior and Town Manager, Todd Pryor, have approved the 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 Town of Superior or its adjacent county, Pinal County, will benefit from no out-of-pocket expenses when utilizing PHI Air Medical thanks to the agreement. The municipal agreement is effective from Sept. 1, 2024 – Aug. 31, 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.
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 #038646 and any transport details available.
The local agreement was spearheaded by Carrie Brookshire, who said: “The people of the Town of Superior are a main priority, and the agreement between the Town of Superior and PHI Cares protects residents by offering vital, life-saving services in times of emergency. By renewing this agreement, the residents of the Town of Superior and their household have peace of mind that they are protected in a serious emergency. We urge all residents to pick up their membership cards and seriously think about protecting the rest of their household and themselves when traveling out of county.”
