Emergency Medical Service Transport Billing Fact Sheet
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) transport billing began on January 1, 2006 in Warren County. The Warren County Fire and Rescue Department is committed to a “service first” philosophy and strives to provide the finest emergency medical services possible.
No one will ever be denied service based on the ability to pay or for lack of health insurance. The billing program is based on a concern for the medical and financial health of county residents. It is designed to minimize out-of-pocket costs for county residents by billing patient’s insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid for transport services. Uninsured residents will be shown compassion and provided with the option of submitting a hardship waiver request, ensuring financial hardship is avoided. There will be no charge for emergency medical care if the patient is not transported. Patients who reside outside of the county will be expected to meet their co-payment and deductible obligations, but will be treated with compassion concerning their financial obligations. At no time will any citizen of Warren County be sent to collections or have liens placed against them for an ambulance transport by the Warren County Department of Fire Rescue Services.
As a combined career and volunteer department, the Warren County Department of Fire Rescue Services makes every effort to provide service that is unsurpassed in quality. When any resident or visitor to Warren County needs Fire, Emergency Medical, or Police services, they should call 9-1-1. Personnel trained at the basic and advanced life support level have been provided with excellent equipment and training to ensure the best possible care of residents and visitors.
