Medicare / Medicaid funding for EMS Services [View all]

I'm the Chief at a Bucks County PA 911 ambulance service, and over 50% of our clientele are on Medicare / Medicaid.

If these two payer categories away, EMS on a national level will be in danger.

Medicaid, although a state program is actually funded as much as 69% from the federal government.

As above, this is not just a Bucks County issue, it is a national problem that few people think about.

Those of you that are inclined, I ask you to please start talking about this potential issue with your local government leaders.

Thank you for reading this.
