Pasadena Paramedic Subscription Service
Emergency Medical Treatment and Transportation
The Pasadena Fire Department (PFD) implemented an Emergency Medical Services subscription program for our residents who are transported to the hospital by a PFD ambulance. This program costs $89/year and covers anyone living in your home. The benefit to this program is that you will incur no additional out of pocket expenses outside of what your insurance covers. Any deductible or co-pay that would normally be required by your insurance is waived.
Additional information on this program can be found on the city website at
Servicio de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena
Transporte y tratamiento médico de emergencia
El cargo por el transporte en ambulancia puede ser tan alto como $3,000. Incluso con un seguro médico, los copagos y los deducibles suelen oscilar entre $50 y $500 para el transporte en ambulancia, a veces más. Cuando necesite paramédicos, el costo no debe ser una preocupación.
Un nuevo programa ofrecido por el Departamento de Bomberos de Pasadena evitará tales gastos inesperados. La membresía en el Programa de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena brinda uso ilimitado del sistema médico de emergencia de Pasadena Fire para usted y los demás miembros de su hogar por una pequeña tarifa anual.
El Programa de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena es un programa de membresía voluntaria para servicios de paramédicos y transporte de emergencia en ambulancia. Cada dólar recibido por el programa se utiliza para mejorar los servicios médicos de emergencia para la comunidad y para mejorar nuestro sistema local de paramédicos.
Por solo $ 85 por año ($ 7 por mes), este programa voluntario brinda cobertura para las tarifas asociadas con cualquier servicio de paramédico o transporte de emergencia proporcionado.
Puede encontrar información adicional sobre este programa en el sitio web de la ciudad en:
