EMS Billing
Understanding Ambulance Fees
You may wonder why you were charged an ambulance fee even if you refused
transport. The Treat No Transport (TNT) charge is essential to support
the constant availability of ambulances and well-trained personnel that
provide immediate emergency response. Ambulances stand ready to serve
you 24/7, 365 days a year, which requires continuous maintenance and staffing.
Insurance Coverage for Ambulance Services
While ambulance services are critical in emergencies, insurance coverage can vary depending on your provider and policy. It's important to review your insurance policy carefully to understand what your insurance will cover. Insurance companies may not always cover the entire cost of 911 services, and you might be responsible for copays, deductibles, or the total cost of services based on your health insurance plan.
