Subscription Program
Cetronia Ambulance Corps offers an affordable subscription program designed to control the out-of-pocket expenses related to ambulance transportation and pre-hospital emergency medical care for you and your family. Most medical insurance plans only cover a portion of the fees associated with pre-hospital emergency care and medical transportation. As a subscriber, you will not be billed for balances owed on services that are partially covered by your insurance carrier, with the exception of deductibles as mandated by Federal Law. On non-covered services (wheelchair van, ambulette and certain non-emergency transports) you will receive a 25% savings.*
We rely on subscription memberships, donations, grants, insurance reimbursement and user fees to sustain our advanced life-saving operations. Your generous contributions allow us to maintain our commitment to excellence in pre-hospital healthcare by continuing to reinvest in technology for our sophisticated EMS system and critical life-saving equipment. With recent cuts in healthcare reimbursements and the growing number of requests for services, your participation in our subscription program is now more vital than ever…Please call our Administrative Offices to become a member at 610-398-0239.
