Program Guidelines
The
Lake Meade Fire & Rescue (LMF&R) Ambulance Membership program is
available to any resident who resides within the designated "primary
response area" for LMF&R. Any individual residing outside this area
will be referred to the appropriate adjoining Fire Department and/or EMS
Service.
Annual memberships to the LMF&R Ambulance Membership Program are $20 per household. This fee covers all residents
of the household and provides for emergency ambulance transportation
only.
LMF&R does not engage in "routine", or non-emergency
transportation.
When possible, and within LMF&R’s discretion, LMF&R will transport
patients to the hospital of their choice, so long as that facility is within a
50-mile radius to Lake Meade. However, when necessary and required, the
closest, most appropriate medical facility will be chosen as the patient’s
destination.
ALL patients of the LMF&R Ambulance are invoiced for services
provided. However, your LMF&R membership fees cover your co-payments,
deductibles and other "out-of-pocket" expenses, where permitted by
law.
LMF&R reserves the right to bill all third party insurers for services
provided.
Those patients who are not members of LMF&R’s Ambulance Membership Program
are responsible for the entire balance, including the portion remaining after
receipt of insurance payments.
Subscriptions are renewed annually, and cover the period from April 1 through
March 31 of the ensuing year.
Should LMF&R’s Ambulance be unable to render immediate assistance,
LMF&R has entered into reciprocal agreements with both East Berlin and York
Springs. These companies have agreed to honor memberships to LMF&R as their
own. Similarly, LMF&R will honor memberships to their respective programs.
LMF&R is not responsible for any charges to a patient by any other entity.
Current LMF&R fees for ambulance services include:
LMF&R
reserves the right to use external collection entities to collect fees from
those patients whose accounts become 90+ days delinquent, or who refuse to
provide the necessary insurance carrier information for 3rd party
billing.
This LMF&R membership program is not a contract for the provision of
ambulance services. This is not a solicitation for the offer or sale of an
insurance product. The terms and provisions of this EMS membership/subscription
program are subject to change without prior notice. Medicare beneficiaries may
be billed for co-payments or deductibles if required by law. All
memberships/subscriptions are subject to acceptance by LMF&R and may be
cancelled or revoked in LMF&R’s sole discretion. The member agrees to remit
any third party insurance payments received directly by the member to
LMF&R.
