MULTIPLE PATIENT SITUATIONS When a single ambulance unit transports more than one patient at the same time from the same incident or unrelated incidents, each patient is charged the full base rate; however, an adjustment will be made for mileage charges. In instances where more than one patient is transported in the same ambulance, the normal mileage charge will be equally divided among the number of patients transported. EXTRA ATTENDANT When a patient's condition warrants the presence of additional emergency medical technicians to assist the regular ambulance crew during a transport, a fee for each of the extra attendants will be charged. Situations and conditions where an extra attendant charge is applicable may include, but are not limited to: patients who are critically ill or injured; patients who are violent and combative; or patients who are morbidly obese.
