In these trying times, LifeMed Membership is especially important. Medical insurance coverages are decreasing and co-pay costs are increasing, which means more out-of-pocket expense for those without LifeMed Membership. Membership translates into significant savings and peace of mind for you and your family.
Ambulance care is expensive to provide. Advanced Life Support costs from $1500 to $3000 per use. LifeMed picks up the cost of what your insurance does not pay.
Insurance does not always cover the total fee for ambulance service. Medicare and private insurance frequently leave various parts of the bill unpaid. LifeMed covers any costs associated with medically necessary emergency ambulance service not covered by your insurance.
The total cost of operating ambulance service on behalf of members is far greater than the annual membership fee. Billing the insurance of those who require ambulance service keeps your annual membership fee affordable.
LifeMed is a membership program, not an insurance policy. Part of the LifeMed membership application includes the provision for LifeMed to bill your insurance whenever you or a family member use the ambulance.
Enrollment is open year round and the annual memberships extends through the next June 30th.
