Ambulance transport costs can vary depending on the level of medical care the patient needs and the transported distance to the hospital. Generally, bills can be expected to be between $750.00 and $1300.00.

Medicare and state/federal funded insurance plans only pay to the closest appropriate hospital. If you chose to bypass the closest hospital then you may receive a bill for non-covered mileage depending on what your signs & symptoms were when the ambulance picked you up.

If you don’t think you were billed correctly and wish to dispute the charges on your ambulance bill, please contact PCC at 1-877-882-9911.

ABNs are Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage. EMS staff may ask you to sign an ABN if you choose to go to a hospital that is not the closest hospital. ABN’s are also used when there is a possibility that Medicare will determine that ambulance transport is not medically necessary.
