Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at President@eatvac.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Why is it important to give?

While we have a very close working relationship with the Township and Fire Department, we are not affiliated with either and receive minimal financial support from tax dollars. Only a small portion of our budget comes from other areas, leaving the large majority coming from insurance billing and most importantly, donations from our community members. These funds help purchase vital life-saving equipment, continuing education and training for members, as well as basic supplies. If each household and business contributes the minimal amount requested, we can continue to offer this service to you and your

family.

Will you receive a bill if you use our services?

Whenever EATVAC provides the service, our billing

company submits the bill to your insurance company. If your insurance company reimburses any portion of the bill, we’ll accept it for payment in full for those who have given the requested subscription fee.

Important to note:

- If insurance payments are made directly to you, it is your responsibility to submit it to the ambulance service.

- If you do not have insurance or if your insurance denies your claim as not medically necessary, youwill be responsible for the payment of your claim including deductibles and co-pays.

What is NOT covered by a subscription?

The following services ARE NOT covered by your subscription:

Alternative modes of non-emergency transportation, including wheelchair van transports. Certain ambulance transports (emergent and non-emergent), which may be denied or deemed outside the limits of your insurance coverage and /or do not meet established medical necessity criteria; Any charges related to long-distance ambulance mileage charges or transport fees, which are based solely on the patient and/or physician preference.

What if I need a non-emergency ambulance or wheelchair van transportation?

Unless your non-emergency transport is medically necessary your insurance will seldom pay for it.

Transports that are not medically necessary may be arranged, but are the financial responsibility of the patient and it is expected to be paid at the time of the transport.

EATVAC does not provide Wheel Chair Van Services.
