Why Am I Being Charged For An Ambulance
Beaver Emergency Medical Services charges the government regulated rate for ambulance services in the province to offset our operational expenses. The Government of Alberta provides significant funding to provide emergency medical services to Albertans even though the Canada Health Act does not require the Government of Alberta to provide ambulance services as an insured service. The amount patients are charged for emergency health services is only a small portion of the actual cost of the service provided.

Who Pays My Ambulance Bill
Payment for ambulance services is the responsibility of the patient. Some of our patients are exempt from paying for ambulance services, but may still receive a bill if we do not have the proper information. It is the patients responsibility to communicate the required information to our billing department if this occurs. More information can be found on our website for this scenario:
