- Why does CCEMS bill for EMS calls?
- It costs a lot of money to provide a high quality EMS system that is able to respond immediately to your emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. We feel sharing this cost between the users of the system and the taxpayers is the most equitable and fair method. By sharing the cost, taxpayers who never use our EMS will not have to bear the full cost of providing it, while patients who do use our EMS will not have to bear the full cost of providing EMS.
- To keep our costs as low as possible, CCEMS uses an ambulance billing company to process our ambulance transport billing. Any questions related to a bill for an ambulance transport should be directed to our billing company, MedBill Resources, 1-888-838-9147, Monday through Friday 7:30 am – 5:30 pm.
- CCEMS will bill your appropriate insurance for calls resulting in a transport. After all insurance claims have been settled, the patient will be billed for any remaining co-insurance, co-pay and/or deductible.
- Requests for an ambulance that do not result in transport to the ER will result in a $100 charge per response, beginning with the fifth (5) response, in a two (2) year period. Requests for EMS that result in transport to the ER do not count toward this total.
- If you are unable to cover the cost of your invoice, CCEMS offers a compassionate care discount for those who qualify. Please complete the form below and return with supporting documentation.
