Patient Education Information

Does my insurance cover an ambulance?

Ambulances are covered when medically necessary. In general, insurance will cover the cost of an ambulance ride when it’s “medically necessary.” In most cases, insurance companies will consider the need of an ambulance ride in the same manner as any other medical expense. Please check YOUR health insurance benefits to find out if and when ambulance transportation is covered.

LifeSaver Program

Join our Life Saver Program and save on your medical transports.

The LifeSaver Membership Program helps City of Richmond residents cover the cost of emergency medical transports. For a low, annual fee of $49 for individuals, or $79 for a family, the plan covers insurance co-pays and deductibles for emergency ambulance transports. Medicaid recipients should not join the Lifesaver program, as it does not provide you with any additional benefits. Coverage begins on January 1 (ends on December 31st) each year. Keep in mind there is a 30-day administrative waiting period, so the sooner you complete your application and mail it in, the better! In some cases emergency transports are not covered by insurance, or patients are responsible for the full balance of their transport. In those cases the LifeSaver Membership Program provides a 20% discount for that transport. If you would like to sign up for Life Saver Membership, please submit the form below.
