Whitemarsh Community Ambulance Association (WCAA) has been providing emergency care to the residents of Whitemarsh Township since 1956. We are committed to providing the highest quality ambulance service to all residents and visitors of our area.
We are a non-profit organization without dedicated tax-dollars for support. We rely on subscription drives like this, as well as other types of fundraising efforts throughout the year. We also bill for our services (third party billing), in order to recoup as much of our expenses as possible, so that we can continue to provide high quality EMS care.
The base rate for emergency ambulance service ranges from $800 to $1,200 while the average insurance reimbursement typically covers less than half of these fees. More importantly, the remaining balance becomes the financial responsibility of the patient.
Subscribers of our program will not have to pay any of the remaining balance with the exception of the LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYS. In comparison, non-subscribers are required by law to pay for all insurance deductibles, copays, uncovered service fees and possibly interest costs and attorney's fee if the account becomes delinquent.
Benefits of subscription include:
-
Patient Assist: Two (2) per year ($500 value).
-
Treatment without Transport: Two (2) per year ($500 value).
-
911 emergency transport and care to the closest appropriate hospital**( see fund drive link for more details). After insurance payment and all deductibles and copays are met, members will not be responsible for the balance of fees.
-
Members without private health insurance will receive a 25% discount on service fees.
Please Note:
-
The annual subscription starts in July and ends in June
-
Subscription benefits cannot be applied retroactively if services are used before payment is received.
