Why Should I Buy An Ambulance Subscription?


2009/10 Annual Subscription Program

 

                It is once again the time of year for us to offer enrollment in the ambulance subscription program to the individuals, families and businesses in our primary response area.  While you will still receive emergency ambulance service if you do not subscribe to this program, we strongly encourage all residents and businesses to participate in order to avoid costs above and beyond what typical insurance will cover. We only offer our subscription program to individuals, families and businesses in our primary response area. If you question whether or not you are in the Yoe Ambulance Service response area, please call us so we can verify your coverage location.  We strive to make this program available to everyone in our response area,  if you are aware of someone who did not receive this information, please have them contact us and we will have this information sent to them.


Peace of Mind in an Emergency:

 

                Although many patients have medical insurance coverage of some type, most insurance plans cover only a portion of the fees associated with transportation to the hospital, or will pay for only those fees they consider to be “usual and customary.”  Unfortunately, this amount is usually far below our cost to provide 24-hour a day emergency ambulance service to a population of 35,000 citizens.  Any portion of the fees not covered by private insurance becomes an out-of-pocket expense for you, the patient.

 

However, as a Yoe Ambulance Service Subscriber, we will only bill Primary and Secondary Insurance providers.  Payment from a subscriber’s insurance carrier will satisfy your obligation to us for our service costs.* Non-Subscribers are responsible for payment in full for services, regardless of the amount covered by their insurance carrier. Subscribers shall forward any payments received directly from their insurance carrier to the Yoe Ambulance Service, or our billing office, immediately upon receipt.

  

 Types of Coverage Offered:

 

“Individual Subscriber” @ $30.00 per person annually

 

“Household Subscriber” @ $45.00, which includes 2 or more persons who legally live at the same address

 

The names of all persons covered must be listed on the back of the enclosed reply card.

Your subscription will become effective the date on which we receive it and it will expire on April 30th, 2010.

 

You may also subscribe on-line at www.yoeambulance.com

 

The demand for emergency medical services has grown dramatically over the past several years. As a result, Yoe Ambulance Service no longer offers scheduled non-emergency transport services.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; however our emergency call volume dictates that we remain available to handle 911 calls. If we are already committed to an emergency when you need us, the 911 center will dispatch another nearby ambulance. This subscription is also honored by Red Lion, Jacobus, Brogue, Springettsbury, East Prospect and Stewartstown Ambulances.

  

                Yoe Ambulance Service is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization.  Any surplus we may generate each year is used to enhance our operations and prepare for future growth in the community. Your subscription dues are a major portion of our annual operating revenue. Additional contributions are always welcome, and greatly appreciated. Contribution amounts exceeding subscription rates are tax-deductible; consult your tax advisor for more details. We thank you in advance for your support and we continue to strive to offer the highest quality emergency medical services possible.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Board of Directors

 

 

*All patients will be responsible for a minimum charge of $85 for refusal of transport, when evaluation and/or treatment is provided.
