Notice Regarding Your Ambulance Bill – Utah House Bill 301 (HB301)

 

Effective May 7, 2025, Utah enacted House Bill 301, which establishes standardized billing rules for all ground ambulance services in the state. This new law was created to ensure fairness and transparency for patients and insurance companies alike.

​

What This Means for You:

• The State of Utah now sets official base rates for ambulance transport. These are:

• EMT Transport: $1,234.92

• Advanced EMT (AEMT) Transport: $1,630.31

• Paramedic Transport: $2,383.73

• EMT/AEMT with Paramedic On Board: $2,383.73

• The mileage rate is fixed at $42.24 per loaded mile.

• Your insurance company is required by law to accept these state-established rates as the allowed amount.

• We are prohibited from billing you more than your copay, deductible, or coinsurance for covered services.

 

Why You May Still See a Balance:

In some cases, your insurer may:

• Not yet have updated their internal systems to reflect the new Utah law.

• Send payment directly to you instead of the ambulance provider.

• Deny part of the charge based on outdated pricing.

 

If this happens, please understand:

• We are billing according to state law (HB301).

• You are not responsible for any amount beyond the allowed charges under HB301.

• We encourage you to contact your insurance provider for clarification and to forward any payment you may have received for this transport to our office.
