Billing

Austin-Travis County EMS is a professional healthcare organization that provides emergency medical services to all of the City of Austin and Travis County. We are a City of Austin department who partners with area first responders to provide assistance prior to our arrival; however, we are not part of the Fire Department or the Police Department. Being a third-city-service allows us to provide a much higher level of care and focus on doing one thing really well, out of hospital medical care.

We charge a users fee, just like your doctor's office or the hospital emergency room. However, because we are a government agency we are able to keep our users fee low compared to private for-profit EMS providers. By providing the EMS crew your insurance coverage information, our staff can bill your insurance provider, Medicare, Medicaid, MAP or worker's compensation direct, so you can focus on a speedy recovery.

With Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, patient care does not end at the hospital emergency room. Our billing services are all done in-house so we can insure the same high-level customer service as we provide in our EMS 911 center and on the ambulance.

Our Billing Office is open Monday thru Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm. We can be reached via phone at (512) 972-7210 or email. All emails will be responded to within one business day.
