Emergency Ambulance cover

Accidents happen all the time and can be traumatic and costly experiences for all involved. At Teachers Health Fund we know this all too well, which is why all of our products include Emergency AmbulanceEmergency Ambulance means an ambulance service that consists of transporting a seriously ill person to the nearest hospital by a State Government Ambulance Service or by a private ambulance service recognised by Teachers Health Fund in order to receive urgently needed treatment. This includes transportation from the scene of an accident or the scene of a medical event such as a heart attack or stroke, but does not include transportation to hospital for the routine management of an ongoing medical condition or transportation between Hospitals.
.

However, Emergency Ambulance cover can be taken on its own if you are not interested in taking out Hospital and/or Extras cover.

Emergency Ambulance covers the costs of getting you to the nearest hospital in an ambulance (State Government Ambulance Service) if you are involved in an accident, or are seriously ill or if you require urgent treatment. These costs are not covered by Medicare. The following table will show you how Emergency Ambulance cover works:
