Why did I get billed for an ambulance transport?
Ambulance billing is consistent with promulgated ordinances within the Town. Taxes provide for a portion of the operating expenses for our Emergency Medical Service (EMS). An itemized bill is sent for all transports to any of the area hospitals. The amount of that bill is dependent on the level of care and service provided to the individual. This is an attempt to recoup specific costs associated with the particular service provided. The revenues gained through this process offset the additional costs of providing advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
