County employee realities

Public sector employees are more likely to face high out-of-pocket ambulance costs, even when insured.

  • Ambulance bill $3,084

    average ambulance bill nationwide1

  • Out-of-pocket cost $1,832

    average out-of-pocket cost1

  • Families 1 in 4 families

    need an ambulance every three years1

  • Ambulance 60%

    of ground ambulance rides may be out-of-network2

  • Older workforce 30%

    more public sector employees are over 55, and advanced age is associated with a higher incidence rate1,2,3

For counties—especially those serving large or rural areas—these costs can rise quickly and unexpectedly.
