What is Hughes County EMS+ (Plus)?

Hughes County EMS+  from HCEMS is an ambulance subscription program that offers valuable benefits for Oklahomans of all ages residing in Hughes County EMS' service areas. The Hughes County EMS + Ambulance Membership Plan is not an insurance plan. It is a Hughes County EMS  program that works with an individual’s (or families) insurance plan to cover 100 percent of expenses associated with deductibles and copayments. The program is designed to cover the out-of-pocket costs, such as co-payments and deductibles, that Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance companies assign to their members. Unlike standard "gap" insurance coverage, Hughes County EMS + covers all HCEMS emergencies.

Benefits of Hughes County EMS+ apply exclusively to Hughes County EMS  service and include:

• No co-payments or deductibles for medically necessary emergency ambulance service. Hughes County EMS+ members pay no out-of-pocket costs for emergency transports. HCEMS collects available insurance dollars but does not bill member for deductible, co-payments, and other out-of-pocket costs associated with emergency services.

• No co-payments or deductibles for non-emergency ambulance transports approved by members' insurance/Medicare providers.

• A 50% cost-reduction of billable rate  (equaling hundreds of dollars saved!) on uncovered non-emergency transports for those with insurance and on emergency and non emergency transports for those without insurance.
