Ambulance Billing

Ambulance Billing is responsible for billing patients or their insurance company for ambulance service received in El Dorado County.

Since July 1, 2006 the County has contracted with Wittman Enterprises, LLC, to provide these services. Rates are established by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and periodically adjusted to keep pace with current service delivery costs.

Medicare reimburses only for ambulance service that is deemed “medically necessary”. Occasionally seniors are dismayed to find that payment has been denied by Medicare, making the patient responsible for the ambulance bill. HICAP is a senior health advocacy group that can offer assistance to seniors dealing directly with Medicare. For additional assistance with Medicare health benefits, please call HICAP at (530) 621-6150.
