Q . Why should I become a subscriber ?
A . Your subscription assures that Brentwood EMS will have the staff , vehicles and equipment required to provide roundthe-clock protection for you and your family in the event of an emergency . In addition , your subscription can save you hundreds of dollars !
Q . Do I need a subscription if I have health insurance ?
A . Yes . Most insurance companies do not pay 100 % of total ambulance charges . Your subscription covers any co-payments or deductibles . Your subscription assures that you will not incur any unnecessary bills for medically necessary emergency ambulance service to the closest appropriate facility , regardless of your insurance coverage . Keep in mind that non-subscribers are responsible for full payment of all applicable charges , which often can exceed $ 900.00 per trip .
Q . How is Brentwood EMS reimbursed if I am transported to the hospital ?
A . In the event that you need ambulance service , Brentwood EMS will submit a bill to your insurance company . Insurance payments are then applied to your balance . Once the insurance benefits of subscribers are exhausted , we write off any remaining balance . Subscribers do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses for emergency ambulance services – no matter how frequently you need our services or the amount of your co-payment .
Q . What should I do if my insurance company sends me a check for payment of services provided by Brentwood EMS ?
A . All recipients of service are required to immediately forward any and all reimbursement received to Brentwood EMS . Failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of any subscription agreement and you will be held responsible for payment of all outstanding balances .
