Your yearly subscription provides you with EMERGENCY
ambulance transportation from the scene of an accident or medical emergency
to a local hospital.
The local hospitals are:
- Mon Valley Hospital
- Washington Hospital
- Jefferson Hospital
Patients may be responsible for long distance mileage to
facilities other than those listed. Mon Valley EMS reserves the right
to third party bill your insurance carrier for any payments that may be
available for services rendered.
Your subscription also provides limited coverage for
NON-emergency transportation that is medically necessary. Charges for
non-emergency transportation that are denied as a non-covered or not
medically necessary by the insurance carrier will be billed to a subscriber
at a cash discounted rate. Non-subscribers will be responsible for 100% of
any charges incurred.
Additional documentation indicating the need for ambulance
transportation from your physician may be required. Subscribers must
also comply with any requirements for pre-authorization or notifications as
required by your insurance carrier. Failure to comply may result in
termination of your subscription agreement.
Subscription fees are utilized to offset insurance
co-payments and deductibles for our subscribers.
Mon Valley EMS is a non-profit organization that provides
24-hour Paramedic service from 3 stations located within the Mon Valley. We
receive no monetary support from local governments and rely outside funding
and rely solely on fees for service and our yearly subscription drive to
obtain the funds necessary to operate. There have been drastic cuts by
Medicare and other insurance carriers in the reimbursements for services
rendered. This has caused a drastic reduction in the revenue that is used
to continue operations. This has made your support even more crucial if
we are to continue to provide service to our communities.
Wheel chair and stretcher van transportation is available 24
hours per day 7 days per week. Charges for this service are not
covered under the subscription agreement and are the responsibility of the
person utilizing the service.
