Only the 9-1-1 emergency system can dispatch an ambulance. If you call 9-1-1, an ambulance responds, and the medics determine that a transport is not medically necessary; FireMed will not pay for an ambulance ride to the hospital. Generally, if the patient is able to travel in a sitting position, the transport is not medically necessary.

Only the 911 emergency communications system can dispatch an ambulance. If you think you may have an emergency situation, call 911 and give your information to the dispatcher. For information about placing a 911 call, visit the Central Lane Communications website.
