Insurance
Information
Please
check your

for an
IMPORTANT
MESSAGE
section at the
top. If we do not
have insurance
information, or
if we need a
signature, a
request was
included with
your statement.
If we have
insurance
information, the
insurance
company has been
billed and the
statement
reflects any
remaining
balance that may
be due.
If there is
any other
insurance that
can be billed,
please provide
us with that
information. You
may download and
fill out the
insurance

service
department.

Levy Information
If you live within
East Pierce Fire & Rescue
boundaries, then, after all insurance(s) have been billed, any balance not covered by your insurance will be paid out of EMS Levy funds. If you are a resident and have no insurance coverage, the EMS Levy will cover your bill. You will continue to receive statements until you have provided us with your insurance information, or you have verified that you have no coverage.
If you live outside of
East Pierce Fire & Rescue
boundaries, you are financially responsible for any portion of your bill not paid by your insurance(s). If you are not a resident and you are uninsured, you are responsible for the total amount of your bill.
If you live within
East Pierce Fire & Rescue
boundaries, then you are considered a resident and there will be a levy message on your billing statement. If you do not see a levy message on your billing statement, this means that you are not considered a resident for ambulance billing purposes.
