Cost of New York Ambulance Rides Goes Up
11/25/2008
First gas, then milk, now ambulances.
The city is raising the cost of an ambulance ride - with transports for the most critical patients going up to $850 per ride - as part of Mayor Bloomberg's orders to slash costs to raise revenue and plug future budget holes.
Basic Life Support rides will increase to $515 from $475; Advanced Life Support will jump to $750 from $600 and Advanced Life Support for the most critical patients will go up to $850 from $700, FDNY Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta told a City Council Public Safety Committee hearing Monday.
