The County Board of Commissioners adopts the following Emergency Medical Services fees. The fee schedule reflects the type of service recognized by Medicare since approximately 70% of our patients fall into this billing category. In the future, there will be no cost difference between in-county and out-of- county calls, the difference will now be made up in the reimbursable mileage charge.
