EMS Membership plans

[Just Plain Ruff]

How many of you have an EMS membership plan for your ambulance service?

Do you find that there are more frequent flyers that call or do you find it a benefit?

[Chief1C]

Yes.

No, in fact, it's probably more than we'd get out of most people anyway.

The deal is. They pay X amount for a year; Jan 31-Jan 31 for their family, singles, elderly, cabin, multifamily cabin. At different rates for each. Then, if and when they call, their insurance gets billed like everyone else. If they don't have insurance, or if their insurance won't pay for it; they pay nothing else. If someone doesn't have a membership, and their insurance won't pay, the bill goes directly to them.

Most ppl that call, can't afford to pay the bill, so if they bought a membership. At least it covers the fuel.

We have a subscription service. I don't see more frequent flyers due to it. What I do find is people are concerned that if they can't pay for their subscription, they won't get an ambulance when they need it.

We still have one. With so many restrictions placed I have not seen any changes at all. In the 80's the subscription used to have not many restrictions and we used to be abused on an hourly basis.
