Please consider subscribing to the Silver Spring Ambulance and Rescue Association. We provide emergency ambulance service to all of Silver Spring Township and portions of Middlesex Township. We have agreements in place with Penn State Hershey, Hampden Township, Cumberland Goodwill, and other local EMS agencies that honor your subscription with us.
Your subscription will assist us in continuing to provide the highest level of service possible to the communities we serve.
The Association’s ambulances respond to over 2,000 calls for assistance every year. Those calls include medical emergencies, fire calls, and traffic accidents.
Your Insurance
We are required to seek reimbursement from your insurance company for services rendered as a part of your insurance policy agreement. If you are a subscriber of the Association, we will accept whatever your insurance provider remits as payment, and will not bill the balance to you.
If payment by your carrier is sent directly to you, it is your responsibility to forward the payment to us along with the Explanation of Benefits form. It is improper and illegal to keep reimbursement received for ambulance services. Non-subscribers are billed directly for any remaining balance that your insurance provider does not pay.
