Dear Friends and Neighbors:
We
would like to thank you for your past support, and
encourage you to renew or begin your membership in our
program.
The revenue generated from the annual membership drive
is a crucial component for maintaining our operations:
unfortunately last year only 25% of eligible residents
became members. This year it is our hope that we
can increase the participation rate and ask you to step
forward to help. Your participation and support is
vital if the citizens of West Mifflin and Whitaker are
to retain this essential public service.
As you are probably aware, changes in Medicare have
resulted in higher co-pays and deductibles and decreased
benefit payments to recipients. Most commercial
insurance companies do not pay ambulance coverage 100%,
and non-members are responsible for the full payment of
all applicable fees related to any emergency ambulance
services. That is why becoming a member could
potentially save you hundreds of dollars annually.
We want to stress that this is NOT an insurance
policy; we will bill your insurance carrier for services
provided; however, as a member, you will be responsible
for any deductibles or co-pays. Acceptance of
insurance reimbursements provides us with essential
funds to maintain and improve vital services for the
community. While we are happy to bill claims on
your behalf, you are required to immediately forward any
and all reimbursements to Prism Health Services.
-
A Family Membership is $55.00, and provides security
for any family member residing in your household.
Your membership extends to family or friends that
may be visiting your residence for any emergency
service while there, and a substantial discount will
be applied to any non-emergency or treatment at the
scene without transport.
-
An Individual Membership is $35.00, and covers only
the individual named on the membership application.
It does not extend to your spouse or other family
members residing in your home.
We realize that the current economic conditions are
difficult for many residents, that is why Prism Health
Services has made the decision not to raise the rates
for our members this year.
If you have any questions, please call our Business
Office at 412.466-5111. For all medical
emergencies, please dial 9 1 1. For
non-emergency transports, please call 412.469-9010.
Thank you again for your continued support !
