The formulation of the "Price Law" is the need to create a fair competitive environment with reasonable prices and optimize the allocation of market resources. The role of market allocation of resources is mainly guided by price signals that reflect market supply and demand and the degree of scarcity of resources.
The basic condition for forming a reasonable price is a fair competition market environment, and a fair competition market environment must be regulated by law.
Among them, the service price (charging standard) of ambulance belongs to the category that should be set by the government. In implementation, it is usually formulated and issued by the provincial-level price department, in conjunction with the government's medical management, service industry management and other departments.
The service price (charge standard) of an ambulance usually consists of several parts. It usually includes the cost of the ambulance itself, the service cost of the doctor on the car, and the medical expenses incurred on the car. Due to different local practices, the prescribed forms are also different. Some are specifically formulated for ambulances, and some are formulated according to their own standards.
To understand the local ambulance charging standards, you can consult the local government, price management, medical management, etc.
