Safely and securely renew your CTEMS membership to help us continue to protect you and your loved ones 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your paid subscription is vitally important in helping Cranberry Township EMS keep up with the ever-increasing costs of buying ambulances, sophisticated life-saving medical equipment, and training for our dedicated personnel.
And it can also save you money as it takes the place of any co-payments and deductibles that your insurance company may require.

Subscription FAQ
Your subscription assures that Cranberry Township EMS will have the staff, vehicles, and equipment required to provide around-the-clock protection for you and your family in the event of an emergency. Your paid subscription shows that you support YOUR EMS by providing the revenue needed to help operate the system.
Yes, it does. CTEMS has a reciprocal agreement with the neighboring EMS agencies. These agencies will honor your subscription by treating you as one of their subscribers.
Yes. Your subscription ensures that you will have limited out-of-pocket expenses regardless of your insurance coverage. Most insurance companies do not pay 100% of ambulance bills. If your coverage includes a deductible or a co-payment, you could be left with a large balance to pay out-of-pocket. Keep in mind that non-subscribers are responsible for full payment of all applicable charges, which can often exceed $600.00 per trip. The subscription program is available only to those with health insurance coverage.
If you need ambulance service, Cranberry Township EMS will submit a bill to your insurance company. Insurance payments are then applied to your balance. Once your insurance benefits are exhausted, we write off 50% of your owed balance. There is no limit on the number of times you can use the services under your subscription.
All recipients of services are required to immediately forward any and all reimbursement received to Cranberry Township EMS. Failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of any subscription agreement, and you will be held responsible for payment of all outstanding balances.
The following services are not covered by your subscription.
- Alternative modes of non-emergency transportation, such as wheelchair vans and invalid coach transports.
- Transports that do not meet medical necessity criteria, as determined by your health insurance.
- Any charges related to excessive mileage or other non-covered charges for transports, which are based solely on patient and/or physician preference.
