CITY BRIEFLY OF MCKEESPORT BRENTWOOD NEWS
Q. Why should I become a subscriber?
A. Your subscription assures that Brentwood EMS will have the staff, vehicles and equipment required to provide roundthe-clock protection for you and your family in the event of an emergency. In addition, your subscription can save you hundreds of dollars!
Q. Do I need a subscription if I have health insurance?
A. Yes. Most insurance companies do not pay 100 % of total ambulance charges. Your subscription covers any co-payments or deductibles. Your subscription assures that you will not incur any unnecessary bills for medically necessary emergency ambulance service to the closest appropriate facility, regardless of your insurance coverage. Keep in mind that non-subscribers are responsible for full payment of all applicable charges, which often can exceed $ 900.00 per trip.
Q. How is Brentwood EMS reimbursed if I am transported to the hospital?
A. In the event that you need ambulance service, Brentwood EMS will submit a bill to your insurance company. Insurance payments are then applied to your balance. Once the insurance benefits of subscribers are exhausted, we write off any remaining balance. Subscribers do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses for emergency ambulance services – no matter how frequently you need our services or the amount of your co-payment.
Q. What should I do if my insurance company sends me a check for payment of services provided by Brentwood EMS?
A. All recipients of service are required to immediately forward any and all reimbursement received to Brentwood EMS. Failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of any subscription agreement and you will be held responsible for payment of all outstanding balances.
Protect yourself and your family today!
Q. When does my subscription expire?
A. Your paid subscription is valid from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
Q. What is NOT covered by a subscription?
A. The following services ARE NOT covered by your subscription:
1) Alternative modes of non-emergency transportation, such as wheelchair van and invalid coach transports;
2) Certain non-emergency ambulance transports, which may be denied or deemed outside the limits of your insurance coverage;
3) Transports which do not meet medical necessity criteria;
