How billing works

Three simple steps
from ride to receipt.

01

Share your insurance

When you book, give dispatch the patient’s insurance details, including any Medicare or Medicaid numbers.

02

We bill your plan

After the transport, we submit the claim to your insurance plan on your behalf.

03

Pay any balance online

If a balance remains, you’ll receive a statement you can pay online or by phone.

Before your ride: coverage & payments

What to know about verification, approvals and what you may owe.

Insurance verification

Before a scheduled trip, we check the patient’s coverage with their plan. Have the member ID and any secondary insurance ready when you book.

Prior authorization

Some plans, including many Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans, must approve non-emergency trips in advance. Medicare also reviews repeat trips, like dialysis. We’ll tell you if approval is needed.

Medical necessity

Most plans cover ambulance transport only when other transportation could endanger the patient’s health. A signed medical necessity form (PCS) documents this.

Copays & deductibles

Your plan may require a copay, deductible or coinsurance. With Original Medicare, you pay 20% of the approved amount after the yearly Part B deductible.

Payment before transport

If a trip isn’t expected to be covered, or you choose to pay privately, payment may be required before transport. Dispatch will explain any costs up front.

Advance Beneficiary Notice

If we believe Medicare may not pay for a trip, we’ll ask you to review and sign an ABN before the ride, so you can decide with all the facts.

Medical Necessity Form

Facilities and physicians can download our medical necessity form for non-emergency transports that require documentation of medical need.

Questions about a bill?

Our team can explain a statement or update the insurance information on file. Call or email and we’ll get back to you.
