Could someone please post how our Maplewood EMT/Ambulance service is funded as well as the procedures for billing residents (e.g., when insurance coverage is in place and when it is not) when this service is used? Thanks. Maggie |

I thought that I'd try one more time to get my question answered about our local ambulance's billing practices, by putting it at the top of the thread heap. All I really want to know is if there is a standard fee for use of the service and if residents are billed in the same manner whether insurance is in place or not. Maggie |

Sorry for missing this before. The cost is $300 and the cost is charged whether there is insurance or not. If someone is unable to pay the fee, there are provisions for having part or all of it waived. There are also additional charges based on the use of certain types of equipment and they are folded into the charge. |

Thanks for responding, Mayor DeLuca. While I am interested in what provisions are in place for having part of the fee waived, I shall contact the billing office direct on that issue. Maggie |
