Assessment

On February 11, 2017, then-representative of Envoy America Casey Kanaan claimed that the company was the exclusive transportation provider for both the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix and the American Cancer Society. The evidence shows that neither relationship was exclusive. Patient resources from the Mayo Clinic's Phoenix campus list Envoy America as one of several available transportation options alongside Valley Metro Dial-A-Ride and internal shuttles. Similarly, the American Cancer Society utilized volunteer drivers and multiple third-party services, using Envoy America primarily for supplemental backup rides in Arizona. In its own contemporaneous announcements in February and March 2017, Envoy America described itself as a partner or preferred provider rather than an exclusive one.
