Silver Saver
As one of the top ambulance systems in the nation, REMSA is prepared to assist you when you need it most. A REMSA Silver Saver membership can help protect your pocketbook as well as REMSA protects your life, health, and safety.
If you or someone in your family. requires a REMSA paramedic ambulance, will your out-of-pocket expenses be covered? REMSA's average ambulance bill is over $700, lower than most comparable programs in the nation. But if you have a high Medicare or insurance deductible, or are on a fixed income, it may be difficult to cover these costs.
The $69 Silver Saver membership protects your entire household against out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles and co-payments that may not be covered by your insurance policy, Medicare, or other health benefits payor... for medically necessary paramedic ambulance services from REMSA.
However, Silver Saver is not an insurance policy, nor is it meant to be a substitute for health insurance. If you have no insurance or other coverage, or if your insurance company or other payor denies payment, you will be responsible for the payment of the fees for those services... but REMSA will discount them by 20% for Silver Saver members.
For only $69 a year, your household is covered for up to 10 medically necessary REMSA ambulance transports per year. With Silver Saver, you're covered whether you live at home, in a senior living center, or nursing home. Silver Saver does not cover Care Flight, REMSA's emergency helicopter service, or Med Express, REMSA's wheelchair transportation service.
Enrollment is currently closed. Check back again after October 1st for 2011 membership information.
