Why does the Department charge an ambulance transport fee to tax-paying citizens?
The Department charges $600 for residents of Plano and $700 for non-residents, plus $10 per mile from the emergency scene to the medical facility. The patient's medical insurance will usually pay this fee which is set in accordance with national ambulance standards. If we did not recover this from the people who use this service, this part of our operation would have to be funded entirely with tax revenue resulting in greater taxes for all citizens.
