BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

FDNY proposes increase in the price it charges for ambulance services

March 24, 2023 Reprints

The Fire Department of New York will hold a public hearing March 24 on a proposal to raise the rate it bills patients and insurers for emergency medical services, Gothamist reports. The FDNY wants to bill $1,385 for an ambulance ride on which a patient is provided with basic life support – a 54% increase over the current rate of $900. The agency is seeking less dramatic rate hikes, between 4% and 10%, for ambulance rides with different levels of advanced life support. Those rides already cost upwards of $1,500 apiece.
