It’s that time of year again for Delaware Township residents. Delaware Township Volunteer Ambulance Corp (DTVAC) needs your help! By contributing to our annual subscription drive, you will help offset our operating costs for another year. Subscription donations are used to purchase emergency equipment, medical supplies, medications and to provide training to our volunteers.
Our personnel continue to fight on the front line of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our agency continues to transport and treat COVID-19 patients and coordinate with other agencies to ensure the well-being of the public. However, the pandemic has taken a serious financial toll on our organization. The cost of medical supplies and personnel continues to rise and for two years now, we have had to cancel all of our large in-person fundraisers. We need your help!
Although we are a primarily volunteer organization, we must bill for our services. An ambulance trip to the hospital can cost more than $2,000. Most insurance providers, including Medicare, do not cover the entire portion of the ambulance bill. You can help both yourself and our organization by participating in our subscription drive. As a subscription member, you will not be billed for balances owed on services that are partly covered by your insurance carrier including insurance copays and deductibles, except for deductibles as mandated by Federal Law. On non-covered services such as non-emergency transports, and patient assessments (patient is not transported) you will receive a 50% discounted rate. 2021-2022 Subscription plans are valid from the date of payment received through December 31, 2022. There is no “proration” for those who wait to subscribe, so the sooner you sign up, the greater the benefit. Review the full subscription letter for subscription membership details. Subscription membership fees are only $35 for an individual, $55 for a couple, or $80 for a household (up to eight persons).
Subscription Drive letters have already been mailed, however, they are only mailed to property owners (on file with the Pike County Tax Claim Bureau). Renters/others will need to obtain a subscription form in one of the following ways: To download a copy of our subscription drive form visit http://www.dtvac.org/subscription-program.html.

Your contribution is more important than ever, as the cost of medical supplies, personnel, and training continues to increase. DTVAC does not receive any direct tax money from local, state, or federal sources. DTVAC is a non-profit organization, established in 1975, that subsists primarily on voluntary contributions and billing income to provide such superb service to our community. DTVAC is dedicated to providing basic and advanced life support ambulance services to the residents and visitors of Delaware Township, Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania. In addition, DTVAC provides advanced life support (ALS), the highest ground-based 911 ambulance service available, and mutual aid basic life support services to surrounding municipalities.
