In Need of Transportation?
Living in NW Pennsylvania means the
weather can change at any moment.
MPS has Non-Emergency Wheelchair
Transportation services to accommodate
those who are wheelchair bound, as
well as those ambulatory, needing a ride

Y
ear after year, reimbursement
conversations are at the top of
the list. With rising expenses and
reimbursement levels remaining the same,
revenues are on a downslope.
Millcreek Paramedic Service is a non-
profit entity. We receive 95% of our
revenue from billed services and insurance
reimbursements. We rely on compensation
to be able to provide pre-hospital care with
the newest life-saving technology, maintain
our vehicles so they are in the best condition
as possible and provide a salary and health
benefits for our employees, those who
selflessly choose to save lives day after day.
The new reimbursement rates for Medicaid
are a step in the right direction; however,
the issue of being fully compensated for
services provided is still a very real concern
to EMS agencies in our area and in the state
of Pennsylvania.
Many agencies and local businesses have
shown their support and generosity through
donations. If you are a business owner,
president or are a resident of Millcreek
Township and have supported us with a
donation, please know that your generosity
is valued and we appreciate it more than
words can say. If you wish to donate to
Millcreek Paramedic Service, we thank you
in advance. Please contact our director
of community outreach, Gary Carver, at
[email protected], or call our
office at 814-836-8677 for more information.
