Northampton Regional Emergency Medical Service's 2015 Ambulance Subscription Program is currently under way.

All postal addresses in the Allen, Hanover and Lehigh Township and the Boroughs of North Catasauqua, Catasauqua and Northampton should be receiving this information.

This program is not an insurance policy. Subscription programs were created to offer protection to members by controlling out-of-pocket expenses. For an annual fee, subscribers are relieved of expenses such as insurance co-payments and deductibles for medically necessary emergency ambulance transports.

Subscribers can rest assured that if their medically necessary emergency transport is not fully paid or even denied, they will not be responsible for payment.

On noncovered services such as non-emergency transports, as defined by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid service guidelines, routine transports to doctors' offices or between hospitals, subscribers will receive a discounted price. Nonemergency transports are done based on our availability and we ask for advanced notice in scheduling.

More program information can be obtained from our mailing or by calling 610-262-0800.
