Enrollment applications are still available for the 2023 Sunstar FirstCare Ambulance Membership. Enroll now to receive a full year of financial help with out-of-pocket expenses for ambulance transportation.
The estimated average cost of a single ambulance transport is $915. Annual membership fees for the Sunstar FirstCare Ambulance Membership plan are $83 for a Single Membership and $125 for a Family Membership. Membership covers 100% of expenses associated with deductibles and co-payments and 50% of medically necessary trips denied by insurance. Uninsured members receive a 20% discount on medically necessary ambulance transportation.
In 2021, the membership plan saved residents an average of $189 per transport.
The Family Membership covers individuals who reside in the same household related by blood, adoption, marriage or registered domestic partnership.
The Sunstar FirstCare Ambulance Membership is not an insurance plan. It is a Pinellas County Government program that works with an individual’s insurance company to minimize out-of-pocket ambulance expenses.
Enrollment will provide coverage through March 31, 2024. For more information and detailed plan coverage, call (727) 582-2008 or visit www.pinellas.gov/ambulance-plan.
