Question

I had an ambulance trip provided by Wabash City County Ambulance Service and I have Medicaid. Why am I getting a bill?

Answer

If you have Medicaid and are still receiving a bill from WCCAS, the billing office may be unaware of your coverage. Please call the billing office for WCCAS at (260) 569-9274 to provide your Medicaid information. It is the patient’s responsibility to make healthcare providers aware of Medicaid coverage in a timely manner to allow them to send a claim to Medicaid on the patient’s behalf. If your trip was more than 3 months ago, Medicaid may deny your claim due to timely filing guidelines. Medicaid may also deny medically unnecessary ambulance services.
