Rostraver/West Newton Emergency Services
EMERGENCY: 911 We are the ambulance providers for Rostraver Township, West Newton, South Huntingdon Township, and Smithton Borough. In June 1996 REMS merged with West Newton Community Ambulance Service forming the Rostraver/West Newton Emergency Services, Inc. This merger allows us to provide EMS to a larger area while maintaining service and efficiency. We offer 1st Aid and CPR classes. We are members of the Pennsylvania ambulance Association, and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Ambulance Association. We have agreements with Life Flite5. A LifeFlight operation is located at the Rostraver Airport. We respond to 7000 calls per year. We have a transport van, seven emergency response vehicles, 25 volunteers and 43 paid associates of which 22 are paramedics and 40 are EMTs. EMERGENCY Your ambulance subscription entitles you to Emergency Transportation to local hospitals. NON-EMERGENCY If deemed medically necessary by your physician, transports to or from local hospitals, dialysis units, oncology units, and home are covered by your subscription and third party billing. DOCTOR OFFICE VISITS Doctor office visits are not covered by any insurance and are not included in your subscription, however; subscribers will receive a substantial discount. THIRD PARTY BILLING Residents who take advantage of the subscription plan will have their bill submitted directly to the appropriate insurance carrier. We will accept what your insurance pays as payment in full. Should your insurance carrier deny payment, you will not receive any further bill. If you are not a subscriber, we will bill your insurance
carrier, however; you will be responsible for the unpaid balance. Being a
subscriber will save you hundreds of dollars in the event you need our
service. If you have any questions, please call our business
office. |
