Why should I subscribe?

 

Keep in mind that most emergencies occur without warning! Your paid subscription will assure that Goodwill Ambulance will be there – when you need us!

 

Your paid subscription can also save you money by avoiding any unnecessary fees if you ever need to use any of Goodwill’s emergency services.     

 

Your paid subscription permits us to:

§      Staff our 2 Basic Life Support ambulances with highly skilled and well-trained personnel.

§      Purchase and maintain life-saving emergency medical equipment

§      Be prepared to promptly respond to your call at a moment’s notice – 24 hours a day.

 

What does my subscription include?

 

Your paid subscription entitles you and your family to unlimited emergency treatment and ambulance transportation to the following hospitals:

§      Lock Haven Hospital

§      Jersey Shore hospital

§      Mt. Nittany Medical Center

 

Your subscription also provides you with limited non-emergency, medically necessary, ambulance transportation.

 

Medically necessary limitations are based on criteria established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as the availability of staff and vehicles.

 

Certain non-emergency services which may not be covered include transports of ambulatory (capable of walking) patients, who do not typically require medical treatment during transport. Some examples include, but are not limited to, direct admission from home to hospital; transportation home from hospital (even though an ambulance took the patient to a hospital for an emergency); and visits to a doctor’s office. As these types of non-emergency transports are not typically covered by your insurance carrier, you may be charged a service fee.

 

 Does my insurance cover ambulance service?

 

Contrary to popular belief, not all insurance companies will pay for 100% of the ambulance costs. Many insurance companies today require co-payments and deductible amounts which far exceed the cost of a subscription.

 

Your paid subscription will cover co-payments and deductibles which are not paid by your insurance company for emergency ambulance service provided by Goodwill Ambulance.
