The Saskatchewan Health Authority has designed Duck Mountain Ambulance Care in Kamsack as an Advanced Life Support Service.

The ambulance service will employ advanced care paramedics who can deliver a higher level of pre-hospital care such as advanced medications, airway supports and manage more complex patient care situations.

Starting June 1st, the rate charged for services by Duck Mountain Ambulance Care will change to $325 per call, while the mileage rate will remain unchanged at $2.30 per kilometer.

Fees for seniors 65-and-older will continue to be capped at $135 per ambulance trip, as part of the province’s Senior Citizens’ Ambulance Assistance Program.
