Prepaid Ambulance Tickets Aren’t A Bad Idea, Unless Salespeople Mislead You
No one wants to receive a surprise ambulance bill, so it’s tempting to buy a prepaid ambulance ticket that can save you thousands. In one area in California, the local American Legion runs their own ambulance service and sells tickets for $100. What do they cover? The veterans group and the stores that actually sell the tickets sort of disagree about that.
CBS Sacramento looked into the tickets when a viewer complained that his mother had been sold a ticket and was told that it would cover 100% of the bill if she needed to take an ambulance. The station checked it out, and that was indeed what they were told.
One drugstore clerk explained that the tickets were “like insurance.” Residents just had to pay $100 to cover their ambulance rides all year.
Fruitland has an ambulance "subscription". You pay a yearly fee and it covers your ambulance ride to the hospital. If you have no insurance, the Fire Dept. does not bill you anything as long as you paid your dues. If you have medical insurance, they bill them and accept that as full payment.
