A. There is a required duty to act within the licensed area upon the acceptance of an ambulance service license. All licensed ambulance services shall respond appropriately, consistent with the level of licensure, when called for emergency service regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.
B. If the ambulance service cannot physically respond within the limits of the Ambulance Service Districts Act, then the ambulance service called shall immediately call for mutual aid from a neighboring licensed ambulance service. Nonemergency, interfacility transfers are exempt from the requirements of this subsection.
