How are the fees for ambulance transport and emergency medical services determined?

A comprehensive cost of service study was conducted in 2021 to determine the city’s cost of providing services.  Studies are important to ensure the City’s cost recovery is in alignment with the cost to provide service.  The amount charged for a fee may not exceed the cost of providing the service.
