Rehoboth Ambulance Launches Subscription service

Posted

The Rehoboth Ambulance Committee has launched a subscription service for residents in an attempt to reduce co-payments for insurance companies.

Chief Scott Meagher and Deputy Chief Reuben Fischman appeared before the board of selectmen Monday to brief them on the service.

Fischman said for a fee of $75, everyone in a household will be eligible to receive the savings.

“If you use the ambulance and you have a co-pay on your insurance, we waive that,” Fischman said. “If you have a high deductible plan, we can’t waive a full deductible so we cut that in half.”

The ambulance committee plans to use the revenue to reduce their response times.

Fischman noted the subscription service was a way for residents to provide financial support to the committee.

“Even if you think you have insurance that will cover everything, you can still support the ambulance with the $75,” Fischman added.

Selectman chairman Gerry Schwall explained even if residents don’t use the subscription service, the ambulance will still be showing up to provide services for those who need it.

“When you dial 9-1-1, you’re going to get an ambulance,” Meagher said.
