SHALER EMS
SHALER AREA EMS 2018 SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE
Shaler Area EMS developed its Annual Subscription Drive to allow Shaler Township residents to protect themselves from a
potentially expensive ambulance bill and support their community. It works by paying a small fee to Shaler Area EMS once a
year to become a subscriber. As a subscriber you will not incur out-of-pocket expenses, which can be substantial, for medically
necessary emergency ambulance trips. As an example, most insurance programs have deductibles and do not pay for the entire
cost of an ambulance trip, which can exceed $750. Subscribers do not incur out of pocket expenses no matter the number of
times you need an ambulance. In addition, most communities in the North Hills honor your Shaler Area EMS Subscription, so
that you are protected even when you are outside Shaler Township.
In addition to protecting yourself from an expensive ambulance bill, subscribing also supports a vital community resource.
Shaler Area EMS needs your financial support to continue as your local ambulance service. Having a community oriented
ambulance service based in Shaler has many advantages. For instance, every minute is critical in an emergency situation and
having an ambulance respond from within Shaler could mean the difference between life and death. Our average response
time is 8 minutes. Shaler Area EMS also delivers a number of non-emergency services to the community such as child seat
safety checks, CPR classes, and support for youth athletics programs.
The fees are $35 for an Individual Subscription, $50 for a Family Subscription, and $70 for a Family Plus Subscription. The
subscription year starts on April 1, 2018 and ends on March 31, 2019. If you have not received your subscription, please contact
us at 412-487-6590 or visit our website at www.shalerems.com.
