Help us protect your family in your time of need.

Lower Valley relies primarily on the people we serve to keep the lights on and the ambulances running. A subscription to our service both keeps us available for the community and gives you peace of mind if you need an ambulance.

Why Subscribe?

Subscriptions both keep your community ambulance service in service and give you critical peace of mind in the event you need our services by offering you a 100% discount on any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur in an emergency

Doesn’t my health insurance pay for that?

Most health insurance companies do not pay 100% of ambulance fees. In fact, most plans require a co-payment or deductible that can skyrocket into hundreds of dollars per use. Your paid subscription ensures you will receive a 100% discount of any of these out-of-pocket expenses when you utilize our ambulances in event of an emergency. You will also be covered if you are out of town and require EMS by any of the services listed to the right.

How is Lower Valley reimbursed if I am treated or transported?

In the event you need an ambulance in an emergency, Lower Valley will submit a bill to your insurance provider. Insurance payments are then provided to your balance. Once all insurance payments are processed, you as a subscriber receive a 100% discount on all remaining “out of pocket” costs. No matter how many times you call.
