Hi,
Voor de mensen die een Medicare of prive verzekering hebben, Ambulance
vervoer zit niet automatisch in het pakket.
Let daarop zodat je niet ineens voor een verrassing (rekening) komt te staan.

About Ambulance Cover
Many people are not aware that Medicare does not provide cover for ambulance transport. Unfortunately, in many instances this is not discovered until after they have used the service and received the bill.
Hier de delen die niet onder Medicare vallen
Medicare does not cover such things as:
private patient hospital costs (for example, theatre fees or accommodation)
dental examinations and treatment (except specified items introduced for allied health services as part of the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program)—contact Medicare for more information
ambulance services
home nursing
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, eye therapy, chiropractic services, podiatry or psychology
acupuncture (unless part of a doctor's consultation)
glasses and contact lenses
hearing aids and other appliances
the cost of prostheses
medicines (except for the subsidy on medicines covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme)
medical and hospital costs incurred overseas
medical costs for which someone else is responsible (for example a compensation insurer, an employer, a government or government authority)
medical services which are not clinically necessary
surgery solely for cosmetic reasons
examinations for life insurance, superannuation or membership of a friendly society
You can arrange private health insurance to cover many of these services
