FireMed Membership
CLICK HERE FOR MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
In 1922, a group of interested citizens began a fund-raising campaign to purchase the area's first ambulance (a 1922 Dodge). Since that time, the City of Corvallis Fire Department Ambulance Service has continued to grow and change in an effort to provide the highest quality out-of-hospital care to the citizens we serve. The Corvallis Fire Department currently provides advanced-life-support ambulance coverage of over 765 square miles of Benton and Linn Counties.
What is FireMed?
FireMed is an ambulance membership program administered by the City of Corvallis Fire Department. For an annual membership fee of $65.00, members are able to defray or lessen the impacts of charges, co-pays, and/or deductibles associated with medically necessary emergency and non-emergency ambulance transports.
FireMed is not a medical or ambulance insurance policy. As a result, there may be some limited situations where a portion of the expenses remain. Please refer to your membership agreement and/or contact the FireMed office with specific questions about your situation.
What is not covered?
The focus of the FireMed program is to help maintain ambulance transport funding and systems support. As a result, membership in the program will not defray costs associated with medical vans, wheelchair coaches, stretcher cars, or any non-covered or non-medically-necessary conditions where ambulance transport is used.
What if I am out of town?
Corvallis FireMed maintains reciprocal relationships with other FireMed agencies throughout Oregon. Our partnering FireMed agencies agree to extend their membership benefits to Corvallis FireMed members if they are transported. This makes membership far more attractive to our mobile society. With over forty providers participating in Oregon, the FireMed programs comprise the largest ambulance membership association in the country.
