Is there a cost to the patient for ambulance use during the Breast Cancer 3-Day?
Yes. In an effort to provide more speedy response times than ambulances coming from the local community EMS (Emergency Medical Services) system, the Breast Cancer 3-Day contracts for dedicated on-event ambulance coverage. However, these ambulance companies do charge patients for any transport that is made from the Breast Cancer 3-Day to local medical facilities. The cost of such transport generally is covered by most medical insurance policies, and this is one of the reasons why having medical insurance is a requirement for participating on The 3-Day.
