PHI Cares Air Medical Membership Program

The Mt. Shasta Sno-Mobilers are proud to offer club group membership discounts in the PHI Cares Air Medical. When you become a member of the PHI Cares Membership Program, PHI will accept the insurance payment as “payment in full” for any medically necessary transport – from a hospital to another hospital or from the scene of an emergency. As a member, when transported by PHI Air Medical, you will never have any out-of-pocket expenses for medically necessary transports. Club group membership dues are $40.00 annually, with or without insurance. For additional information, call PHI Cares at 1.888.IFLYPHI (1.888.435.9744) or visit their web site.
