Pricing Transparency for the Walsh Ambulance Service
The hospital price transparency helps Americans know the cost of a hospital item or service before receiving it. Starting January 1, 2022, each hospital operating in the United States will be required to provide clear, accessible pricing information online about the items and services they provide. While EMS agencies were not included in this requirement. We at the Walsh Ambulance Service do believe in transparency and honesty and have posted our base rates and mileage rate. You will be charge only one base rate and the mileage rate is per mile when a patient is transported. You may incur additional costs such as supplies that are used on the call and these are billed in addition to the base rate and mileage rate listed below but fluctuate based upon availability and demand when orders are placed from various vendors.
