What Benefit Does An Ambulance Membership Program Offer To Its Members?
Ambulance membership gives residents a low-cost alternative to high ambulance user fees. This takes away the hesitation to call 9-1-1 in an emergency. Some people will drive themselves to the hospital or refuse service if someone else calls 9-1-1, because they do not want to, or are unable to pay the bill. Members do not hesitate. That saves lives and provides better medical outcomes. Some residents may not be able to afford even a membership. For those who do not receive some sort of assistance that pays for their ambulance service, we recommend an assistance fund. You can solicit donations to the fund on your membership application. You can work with local senior and disabled services agencies to identify those in need. You can also follow government assistance guidelines for awarding reduced or no-cost memberships.
