Why does Caroline have a Fee for Service program?
Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance polices include the cost of ambulance transport. As the cost of providing emergency medical services increase, Caroline leaders have sought ways to pay for these services without raising property taxes. Many other local governments in Virginia have found that billing Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance for ambulance transport service has resulted in revenue being recovered to help fund Fire and EMS services.

Caroline joins more than 60 cities, counties, and towns in Virginia that currently charge fees for EMS transport services.
