Ambulance Charges
& Billing
Roberta Kappen, Billing Secretary
The Rogers Fire Department provides emergency ambulance
service to the residents and visitors of the City and a
rather large geographic area to the east along Arkansas
State Highway 12. Charges for these services are established
by the City Council and those currently in place became
effective 1-1-96. As provided by the Rogers City Code
(Appendix E) these are:

The patient is responsible for the payment of the ambulance
bill. An invoice is sent as soon as practical after the
service is provided together with the appropriate insurance
claim form and instruction sheet. Approximately one month
after the service, if no payment is made or if there remains
an account balance, a statement is sent to the responsible
party. Any further billing contact is through an account
management assistor who will help the responsible party with
budgeting, insurance claim interaction, or other counseling
aid. After a reasonable period an account may be assigned to
a collection agent or pursued in court.
RFD's staff will attempt to work with you on your payment
problems. If you have any questions call the Ambulance
Billing Clerk at (479)621-1179.
Note: Medicaid and similar accounts are handled in
accordance with the applicable law and/or regulations.
