FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"My insurance covers ambulance services, so why should I subscribe?"
It is important to remember that although your insurance company may pay the ambulance bill, many insurance companies require you to pay a deductible, co-pay, or coinsurance. Most insurance companies also do not cover medical/lift assists or treatment-no-transport services. Subscribing will allow you to reduce these costs.
Furthermore, subscriptions provide SouthBridge EMS with financial support. We need your support to maintain the current level of emergency preparedness as we serve the residents of our communities.
"How long does my subscription coverage last?"
Subscription coverage lasts for a year, from April 1st to March 31st of the following year. Please note that subscriptions always expire on March 31st, regardless of the initial subscription date.
"Will I receive a subscription renewal in the mail?"
Yes. We send subscription renewals by mail each year before the expiration date. If you do not receive your subscription by March 31st and would like one sent to you, reach out by calling 412-221-5115 or by submitting a billing inquiry.
"If another EMS agency shows up to my residence, but I have a subscription with SouthBridge, will my subscription still be honored?"
Yes. SouthBridge EMS works with neighboring agencies to ensure that your subscription will be honored even in the case of a mutual aid situation. If you receive a bill from a neighboring EMS service and your subscription has not been applied, call the number on your bill and inform them of your current membership status.
Please reach out if you have any problems or concerns by calling 412-221-5115 or submitting a billing inquiry.
"Do you provide non-emergency inter-facility transfers or wheelchair van service?"
No. SouthBridge EMS is an emergency service and is unable to provide wheelchair van, invalid coach, or non-emergency transports. You must make arrangements with a third party.
"If I am out of the area and need an ambulance, will SouthBridge come?"
No. SouthBridge EMS only provides primary response in Bridgeville Borough, Cecil Township, and South Fayette Township. 911 will dispatch the designated service for the area that you are currently in.
If an ambulance service other than Scott Township, Medical Rescue Team South Authority, Collier Township, Tri-Community South, Fort Cherry, or Canonsburg responds to your call, you will have to ask the agency if they would be willing to honor your subscription. They are not contractually obligated to do so.
