EMSPlus Frequently Asked Questions

Where am I covered by EMSPlus? You are covered in a lot of places. When traveling throughout southeast and south central Michigan, EMSPlus coveres you for emergency ambulance transports to the closests, most appropriate hospital.

To use your EMSPlus membership, you must be transported by one of the folowing ambulances services:

• Huron Valley Ambulance

The following communities are covered by EMSPlus

What is "Medically Necessary"?  Medically necessary ground ambulance service is the specific need for emergency care or stretcher ambulance transportation to and from a hospital where other forms of transportation would be medically inappropriate given a patient's condition.  The patient must be confined to bed with no other appropriate transportation available to medical care.  Transportation under this program is available to and from a hospital within a 40 mile radius of your home.  Visits to physicians, dentists, physical therapy centers and pharmacies are not covered.

Won't Insurance Pay Ambulance Bills?  Some insurance plans do not cover the full cost of ambulance and paramedic services.  Non-members are responsible for all costs not covered by insurance.  EMSPlus members never have to pay out-of-pocket costs for ambulance service that falls within program guidelines.  If you don't have health insurance or your health insurance doesn't fully cover ambulance service, EMSPlus! is for you.

If I Belong to EMSPlus, why do you bill my insurance company?  EMSPlus is not an insurance program.  EMSPlus membership fees do not cover the actual cost of service.  Acceptance of insurance reimbursement allows us to keep the cost of membership affordable for everyone and provides us with essential funds to maintain and improve services.  For medically necessary transports, we bill your insurance and then cover what insurance doesn't.  EMSPlus members have no out-of-pocket expense for medically necessary ambulance and paramedic service, even if they have no insurance.
