Membership Info
Your paid membership is a critical part of helping Port Matilda EMS keep up with the increasing costs of outfitting our ambulances with life-saving medical supplies and equipment, providing training for our dedicated personnel, and paying wages for our staff. Covid-19 has brought a lot of challenges to our area, and to our service as well. We want to always be available for you if you need emergency medical care.
Your continued support of Port Matilda EMS will allow us to provide the finest pre-hospital care and transportation during your medical emergency. Port Matilda currently faces challenges in the areas of reimbursement and recruitment of employees and volunteers. Your membership purchase is a significant part of our annual funding.
Your paid membership can also save you money as it takes the place of any co-payments and deductibles that your insurance company may require you to pay.
Non-emergency ambulance transports must be ordered by a physician and the member is responsible for charges not covered by insurance.
Members & non-members evaluated by ambulance personnel, then refusing transport or not requiring transport may be charged a refusal fee.

Third-Party Billing
Third-party billing is a program that provides reimbursement for ambulance services. Your subscription assures that you will NOT be responsible for any additional bills for emergency services provided by PMEMS regardless of your insurance coverage. Each time you use the ambulance, a bill is submitted to your insurance company. If your insurance company reimburses any portion of that bill, we accept it as payment in full. However, if you are not a subscriber to our membership, you must pay any amount not covered by your insurance. Non-payment may result in litigation through the district magistrate. Insurance reimbursements made directly to the patient and not forwarded to PMEMS will void your membership and collection procedures may be initiated by PMEMS.
