What is an MVEMS membership and who does it benefit? Regardless of your age or overall health, anyone can benefit from an MVEMS subscription. As an MVEMS member, your EMS transportaion costs are covered in cases of emergencies and injuries. In addition, your membership helps support the overall success of your local EMS agency. Your memberships and donations assist us to provide reliable quality care to our community.
Why should I subscribe if I have Medicare or other insurance? If you are a subscriber, we will bill your insurance carrier first for any transports. Any amount due such as co-pays/deductables/co-insurance will be waived. You will owe no additional monies. (Medicare typically only pays 80% of your medical coverage. The balance due after the medicare payment will also be waived if you are a subscriber.)
What if I have no insurance and am a subscriber? if you are a subscriber, we will reduce your bill by 20% for any emergency transports. You will, however, be responsible for any remaining balances.
What is included in a membership? The membership program is applicable to medically necessary EMERGENCY transportation to any of the surrounding acute care hospitals in our area for a one-year period starting April 1st, 2024. Non-members will be obligated to pay all payments, co-payments, and deductibles as required by their health insurance plan, which can be $900 or more. As a subscriber, you will benefit from no out-of-pocket expenses.
