Twin City Ambulance Patient Information

Yes, Twin City Ambulance offers EMS training courses. Our website provides more information about our training programs.

Emergency ambulance services are used for critical situations where a patient’s life is in danger. Non-emergency ambulance services transport patients who are not in critical condition but still need medical care. This could include transporting patients to and from doctor’s appointments, dialysis centers, or other medical facilities. It is important to note that non-emergency ambulance service still has to be medically necessary and is usually ordered by a physician or treating facility.

Most ambulance services are not subsidized or paid except when they transport patients. The bill reflects the cost of maintaining a state of readiness and providing immediate response to sick and injured patients in our community. While the gross charge may seem like a lot, it is important to note that most bills are paid at set rates by government payers, like Medicare and Medicaid, and negotiated rates by commercial insurers. If you have a question about your bill, please contact us.
