Care Plan: Become a Member

Your initial membership payment covers your household from the time Rockford Ambulance receives the signed contract and full payment of $50 and continues until September 30. All members must be on record with Rockford Ambulance to receive benefits.

Membership covers emergency and non-emergency stretcher ambulance and paramedic services provided within a 50 mile radius of Rockford Ambulance office located at 8450 Shaner Ave., NE Rockford, MI 49341 by Rockford Ambulance and its affiliates when medically necessary to and from the hospital, at no out-of-pocket expense/reduced during the contract period if you have insurance.
