(A) Each franchisee under this chapter shall submit a schedule of rates to the county for approval and shall not charge more nor less than the approved rates without specific approval by the county.
(B) No ambulance service shall attempt to collect rates on calls until the patient has reached the point of destination, has received medical attention, and is in a condition deemed by the physician fit to consult with the ambulance service; but, such service may attempt to collect rates with the family or guardian of the patient once the patient is in the process of receiving medical attention.
(C) On non-emergency calls, or calls where a person requires transportation to a nonemergency facility, attempts to collect payment can be made before the ambulance begins its trip.
