I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, why did I receive a payment for my ambulance transport?

How do you determine and set ambulance rates?

  • Ambulance rates for Eagle County Health Service District are set by the Board of Directors. These rates represent the cost to provide the service to you less the tax support received by the community. The total cost to provide care is the Tax plus Patient Collected Fees. These fees are substantially lower because of the tax subsidy received.
