2023-2024 Annual Subscription Program


We proudly offer enrollment in our ambulance subscription program to the individuals, families and businesses residing within our primary response area. While you will still receive emergency ambulance service if you do not subscribe to this program, we strongly encourage all residents and businesses to participate to avoid costs above and beyond what typical insurance will cover.


We only offer our subscription program to individuals, families and businesses in our primary response area. If you question whether or not you are in the First Capital EMS response area, please contact us so we can verify your coverage location. We strive to make this program available to everyone in our response area. If you are aware of someone who did not receive this information, please have them contact us and we will have this information sent to them.


Why Should I Purchase an Ambulance Subscription? Peace of Mind in an Emergency


Although many patients have medical insurance coverage of some type, most insurance plans cover only a portion of the fees associated with care and transportation to the hospital or will pay for only those fees they consider to be “usual and customary.” Unfortunately, this amount is usually far below our cost to provide a 24-hour a day emergency ambulance service to a population of 66,000 citizens. Any portion of the fees not covered by private insurance becomes an out-of-pocket expense for you, the patient.


However, as a First Capital EMS Subscriber, we will only bill your Primary and Secondary Insurance providers. Payment from a subscriber’s insurance carrier will satisfy your obligation to us for our service costs*. Non-Subscribers are responsible for payment in full for services, regardless of the amount covered by their insurance carrier. Subscribers must forward any payments received directly from their insurance carrier to First Capital EMS immediately upon receipt


Types of Coverage Offered


Senior 65+ Individual - $20.00 per person annually
Senior 65+ Household - $35.00 which includes 2 or more persons who legally live at the same address
Individual under 65 - $35.00 per person annually
Household under 65 - $50.00 which includes 2 or more persons who legally live at the same address

The demand for emergency medical services has grown dramatically over the past several years. As a result, scheduled non-emergency transport services are not covered under the subscription.


If we are already committed to an emergency when you need us, the 911 center will dispatch the next closest available ambulance service.


First Capital EMS is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization. Any surplus revenue we may generate each year is used to enhance our operations and prepare for future growth in the community. Your subscription is a major portion of our annual operating revenue. Additional contributions are always welcome, and greatly appreciated. Contribution amounts exceeding subscription rates are tax-deductible; consult your tax adviser for more details.


Thank you in advance for your support as we continue to strive to offer the highest quality emergency medical services possible.


*All patients will be responsible for a minimum charge of $95 for refusal of transport, when evaluation and/or treatment is provided. Non-transport is not covered by the membership*
