Chamber Member DISCOUNTED MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL OFFER
Each Chamber member in good standing is eligible to buy a
CareFlite Ambulance Membership at a cost of $10 per employee. |
|
|
Per Jim Swartz, President and CEO of CareFlite, this is quite an offer:
"A one year family membership (usually) costs $49. The lowest public price which you can see on our website is $149 for 5 years or $30 per year. But the real value is if someone is transported. A typical ground transport is $1500 and a typical air transport is $15,000. In our experience, insurance companies on average pay about 50% leaving the balance to patient responsibility. Over the past 30 years we have transported over 500,000 patients. This year we will transport about 40,000. This is a bargain at $10 and yours would be about the 10th Chamber to offer it to their members as a special benefit. While our service covers all of North Texas, if someone is getting a helicopter transport in Grand Prairie, it is 99.5% likely to be CareFlite."
Contact the Chamber Office and we will gladly send you the Caring-Heart Membership Application so that you can offer this great benefit to your employees. | |
