Helpful Reminders

Since Patients have varying insurance coverage for ambulance services,  please contact your insurance carrier for details.  If your insurance carrier denies coverage or rejects the claim,  the cost of ambulance services, are your responsibility.  Please remit payment directly to Coronis Health for services rendered...9-1-1 ambulance service is not covered by taxpayer dollars.

​

Per Medicare, we are contracted to accept what Medicare pays. If your claim was denied, you can ask for a reevaluation,.  However, if the service was not covered you are responsible for payment.

​

If you  believe  this was denied in error, please follow up with Medicare and Coronis for clarity..  If ambulance coverage is not included in your plan, you should contact your insurance representative and inquire about opting into Ambulance coverage.

Medicaid / Medicare Coverage

 Major Provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)

Impact on Medicare Beneficiaries with Low Incomes:

  • The bill may reduce access to programs like the Medicare Savings Programs & Part D Low-Income Subsidy, which help low-income individuals afford Medicare premiums, cost-sharing, and prescription drugs. 

  • By potentially cutting Medicaid funding, OBBB could make it harder for some to qualify for Medicaid, which often provides supplemental coverage & support for those with low incomes enrolled in Medicare. ​

 Changes in Immigration Eligibility for Health Coverage: 

  • OBBB restricts Medicare eligibility for certain non-citizens, including some refugees & asylees, who were previously eligible.

  • While this doesn't directly change Medicare benefits for US citizens or those who remain eligible, it could impact the health care landscape in ways not anticipated. ​

Impact on Long-Term Care:

  • Medicaid plays a significant role in funding long-term care services, and OBBB's cuts to Medicaid could impact access to nursing home care & home/community-based services.

  • While Medicare does cover some short-term skilled nursing facility stays, it is not designed as a long-term care program.

  • OBBB could indirectly affect access to long-term care by making it harder for individuals to qualify for Medicaid coverage, which is essential for many needing long-term care.
