Home / What is NOT Covered
Insurance is no guarantee of receiving the care you need and often does not protect you from financial hardship or medical bankruptcy. After paying premiums and deductibles year after year, most people are better off paying cash and saving their money. There is a risk both ways, but DriverMD® for those who want more control of their financial process. If insurance is provided through your work, we recommend you have both options if you can.
We are NOT health insurance.
Healthcare services are often more accessible than many realize. The combination of these services with DriverMD® makes healthcare more accessible and affordable. If you lose your job, you are having a baby, and other reasons qualify you for Marketplace plans when you need them. True to use your best judgement as a healthcare consumer to decide.
Not everyone qualifies, you may get even better care.
Our company serves as an informational resource to help individuals navigate the complex landscape of healthcare services and assistance programs. Our expertise lies in explaining how to access and use these services.
We do NOT directly provide healthcare assistance.
Many individuals and families struggling with financial hardships, job loss, or medical issues may qualify for government assistance programs without realizing it. These programs include health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace, food assistance through SNAP, housing aid, and financial support through programs like TANF or SSI. Eligibility often depends on factors such as income, family size, and specific circumstances. Additionally, people experiencing life changes like losing a job, having a baby, or moving may qualify for special enrollment periods for health insurance. It is important to regularly check eligibility for these programs, as criteria and personal situations can change over time.
Life on the road can be demanding, and your health should not take a back seat to your career. Long hours, unpredictable schedules, and limited access to healthcare can make staying healthy a challenge for OTR truck drivers. Studies show that unmanaged health issues can lead to missed workdays, increased stress, and long-term health complications – all of which can affect your livelihood and quality of life.
Many of our members automatically qualify for no cost or highly discounted rates under hospitals 501 (r) charity requirements. Hospitals must provide care at no or reduced costs to those who meet federal assistance guidelines even without insurance. In your case, insurance may not be necessary. While hospitalization is not covered by the DriverMD® program, we can advise you on your rights so that you may still obtain care if needed.
If you need to go to the ER, Individuals are protected in two keyways to be sure you will be seen and treated if necessary. Please advise the hospital upon admission you qualify under 501(r) guidelines.
Hospitals must provide service. EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act) is a federal law that requires hospitals with emergency departments to provide emergency medical care to anyone who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status.
The same Hospital Waiver 501(r) Benefit mentioned above applies to emergency room visits.
Like the hospital rules above, we have helped many families in receiving free or highly discounted cancer treatments. We can make no promises, but you may qualify under the same 501(r) benefit to receive care for any severe illness.
If your illness causes a change in your job status, you will also qualify for a Healthcare Insurance Marketplace plan if you apply within 60 days. This is an added layer of protection that can protect your family in case of emergency.
