Billing/Insurance Information
Paramedics begin to gather patient information before they arrive to the hospital; however, sometimes due to the nature of the emergency, paramedics may not be able to get all of your information. If you have received an invoice, following ambulance transportation that is missing your insurance information, please notify ambulance billing. We will submit a claim on your behalf for the charges incurred. To speak to a billing specialist please call 772-621-3321 or fax your information to 772-621-3610 or send an email to billing@slcfd.org.
