Invoicing of emergency medical services

An invoice of the ambulance transport by the emergency medical service will be sent to the customer. Its sum is based on the decree concerning the compensation costs of emergency medical care. The transported patient's share of the invoice is EUR 16.00.

No invoice will be sent for assignments where the patient is not transported to a health care service location by ambulance. An exception to the abovementioned rule are those situations where the examination and treatment helped the patient to avoid a visit to the emergency healthcare services These situations are, for example, the analysis of an ECG, stabilising blood sugar levels and fixing atrial cardiac arrhythmia. An invoice will be sent to the patient for these situations.
