You will need to consult with your insurance company for specific details of your plan. Most health insurance plans have deductibles assigned to them, similar to the deductible on an auto insurance policy - the insurance company won't pay until the deductible has been met. In some plans, these deductibles can be as high as $3,000.00 before insurance begins to cover any medical expenses. If you have not met your deductible, our billing company receives a notice that the deductible has not been met, and they will in turn send you a bill. You are responsible for paying these costs. In addition, once the deductible is met, some health insurance companies will only pay a percentage of the total cost (for example, Medicare may only cover 80% of the total cost). The remaining balance is your responsibility and is called Co-insurance. Rehoboth Ambulance will send unpaid bills to a collection agency if you have not reached out to us to discuss your unique circumstances. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns so we can discuss your unique circumstances.
