COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Colorado Springs Fire Department is proposing a change to how the city runs ambulance services for citizens.
The fire department said AMR has not been meeting the expectations for response times laid out in its contract with the city. CSFD said in the past three years, AMR responded late to more than 33,000 calls and paid the city more than $5 million in damages for not meeting response times. The department said creating a city enterprise to fund in-house ambulance services would save citizens almost $600 per ambulance trip. CSFD said residents would pay $2,275 for an Advance Life Support transport and $1,975 for a Basic Life Support transport. The fire department said AMR's cost for transports is $2,827 for ALS and $2,569 for BLS.
