The Department of Veterans Affairs own website defines the obstacles Veterans must navigate in order to even qualify for ambulance service and possible reimbursement to the veteran.   Those conditions include “must be service connected“, “must be pre-authorized” or “must file a claim within 72 hours”.  Conditions most Veterans aren’t even aware of.  As a result, the VA does not generally provide ambulance service to Veterans." Because they do, although with severe limitations that almost always result in no private (non-VA) ambulance service being provided by the Veterans Administration.

Medical emergencies can happen at any time without warning. If EMS or health care providers determine emergency medical transport is needed and you are transported by one of our participating ambulance services, your VetMET Membership protects you and your family from having any out- of-pocket expenses. Lifesaving emergency medical transport (ambulance) can be expensive, and health insurance may not cover all costs. VetMET, in joint cooperation with our participating ambulance service providers, works directly with your insurance company (if any) for their portion of the payment and the rest of the cost is covered by your participating VetMET Membership.
If you are a Veteran*we invite you to join our waiting list to become a VetMET member or give membership as a gift to a Veteran* you know and love.

*Veteran eligibilty is determined by requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

A small initial annual enrollment fee depending upon the applicants level of participation may be required assuring peace of mind knowing your family is protected from the burden…

VetMET Membership benefits cover all eligible* veterans, their spouse or domestic partner, and dependents claimed on their income tax return. Elderly or disabled family members living in the same household are also covered. With your participating VetMET membership, there are no out-of-pocket expenses for emergent, medically necessary transport.*

*ALWAYS CALL 911 when you need emergency medical assistance. A physician, EMS provider or other authorized personnel will determine if emergent transport is needed. Do NOT call VetMET.

Our desire is that VetMET will play a crucial role in helping Veterans access emergency medical care. This can only be done with your help. While for a non-profit to ultimately be sustainable we need people to regularly give monthly, quarterly or yearly, right now our biggest need is having the funding to cover costs for our first members and setting up the systems to effectively manage the membership quickly.
