Re: ambulance Insurance
However, regardless of cost it's the one insurance everyone should have imo. To call an ambo without insurance you'd be looking at a bill in the high hundreds.

Re: ambulance Insurance
From the St John website http://www.ambulance.net.au/content....ambulancecover
Billing Policy St John Ambulance is a ‘user pays’ organisation which means that travelling in an ambulance is not free. The cost of ambulance transport varies depending on the nature of the call out. Below are our standard fees for the different services we offer. For insurance against these fees, coverage can be provided through private health insurers such as Health Benefit Fund (HBF). If you are a pensioner you may also be covered for ambulance transport (refer to the Ambulance Cover section below for further information). Service Fee Life threatening $779 Urgent $779 Routine Transport $418 Patient Transport Vehicle $383 No GST on private ambulance transport Ambulance Cover If you should need ambulance transport, even a short ride could be expensive. The cost of ambulance services is not covered by Medicare. Nor is it covered if you are holding a Healthcare card, Pharmaceutical or Pensioner Benefit Card. Metropolitan Ambulance Cover In the metropolitan area St John Ambulance has not operated the Ambulance Cover since 1997. HBF owns and operates the HBF St John Ambulance Cover. Please check with your health insurer to see what level of ambulance cover you hold. See WA Govt ambulance policy for how pension card holders are covered: http://www.ambulancepolicy.health.wa...ions/index.cfm The HBF ambulance cover policy is very reasonably priced: http://www.hbf.com.au/health-insuran...nce-cover.html |

All that means is the people who actually pay bills subsidise the bogans who call ambulances when they have broken a fingernail. Subject crops up every now again in the local paper. |

Re: ambulance Insurance
We took our insurance out about two months ago but discovered recently that if you have a health concession card then Ambulance cover is covered by Medicare so we needn't have taken it out just yet.
