LFN's Membership Program is designed to benefit patients who are transported by LFN under medically necessary circumstances. If a patient is a member, LFN will accept an insurance settlement (if any) as payment in full. LFN Membership benefits do not include any coverage for ground ambulance transportation associated with the flight. There is no direct charge or out-of-pocket expense to the member if flown by helicopter or fixed wing airplane under medically necessary conditions. LFN flies patients on the basis of medical need, not membership status. By becoming a LFN Member the annual membership fee pre-pays any deductibles or other portion of the flight bill not covered by insurance or Medicare. Most deductibles are $100 to $1000 depending on the insurance plan. One of the LFN Membership benefits is that the patient will not pay any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. The membership program is especially important for persons on a fixed income who otherwise might have to absorb the portion of the bill not covered by Medicare or other commercial insurance plans. Even Medicare supplemental policies and standard health insurance policies often pay only a portion of a transport bill. Link............
