Yes. Your membership assures that you will not incur any unnecessary bills or medical expenses for necessary emergency ambulance service to the closest appropriate facility. Medicare and commercial insurance companies typically do not pay 100% for an emergency ambulance call. Keep in mind that we are required to bill you for the balance owed unless you are a member. As a member we are allowed to not send you a bill for any balance, co-payment or deductible. Nonmembers are responsible for full payment of all applicable charges.
In the event that you need emergency ambulance service, LVHN–EMS Hazleton will submit a bill to your insurance company. Insurance payments that we receive are then applied to your balance. Once all insurance benefits are exhausted, we write off the remaining balance if you are a member. As a member, you will have no out-of-pocket expenses.
All recipients of service are required to immediately forward any and all reimbursement received to LVHN EMS. Failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of any membership agreement and you will be held responsible for payment of all outstanding balances.
The following services are not covered by your membership:
- Alternative modes of non-emergency transportation such as wheelchair van or non-emergent stretcher van transports.
- Certain non-emergency ambulance transports, which are not covered by insurance.
- Any charges related to excessive mileage based solely on patient and/or physician preferences.
- Any inter-facility transfer from Lehigh Valley Hospital–Hazleton to another hospital.
Your family/household membership will cover anyone who has a legal residence at your home regardless of relation.
