EMS Billing Policy

 Margaretta Twp. Fire Department

       The Margaretta Township Trustees have adopted, per the Ohio Revised Code, a policy of charging non-residents  for Emergency Medical Services. This Policy was started to off set the rising cost of providing the Ambulance Service. Effective Jan. 1, 2006 Margaretta Township has contracted with Practice Consulting Specialists of Ohio for EMS billing. Effective 1/1/06 three levels of EMS Service are billed. Current EMS levels and rates are as follows:

                                                         The following rates are currently in effect:

                                                                      BLS Fee - $400.00 per run   

                                                                      ALS Fee - $475.00 per run

                                                                   ALS II Fee -  $625.00 per run

                                                                   EMS Mileage - $ 7.00 per loaded mile any level          

Our EMS personnel cannot always get the proper Insurance information and in those cases the invoice will be sent to the patient, guardian or P.O.A.
