Frequently Asked Questions
 Does
Berlin Ambulance handle wheelchair transports?
Berlin Ambulance only handles
non-emergency transports of patients that require a cot as determined by a physician
issued medical necessity. For wheelchair van transports in or around the
Somerset area please contact Somerset Area Ambulance Association at
(814)-445-6141.
Does
Berlin Ambulance handle inter-facility or long distance transports?
In an effort to keep one ALS
staffed ambulance in service within the Berlin area at all times to handle 911
emergencies, Berlin Ambulance does not typically handle inter-facility or long
distance transports. If an ambulance transport is necessary and can be
scheduled far enough in advance, the transport may be handled only if adequate
personnel are available to staff the second ambulance.
With
which services will my ambulance membership be honored?
Berlin Area Ambulance holds
reciprocal agreements with Somerset and Meyersdale Ambulance services.
Please reference the Membership page for more
information on obtaining an ambulance membership.
