August is the only month  when Tulsa utility customers can cancel or subscribe to a monthly fee for EMSA for ambulance services.

EMSAcare is a program by EMSA (Emergency Medical Services Authority) that covers the costs of emergency medical ambulance transport for all permanent members of households that participate in the program.

EMSAcare subscribers either with or without health insurance pay no additional out-of-pocket costs – such as co-payments or deductibles – for emergency ambulance services.

Customers who are already enrolled in EMSAcare are automatically re-enrolled unless they cancel in the month of August.

The monthly $5.45 fee is automatically added to city utility bills. To check if they are currently enrolled, customers can look on their water bill for a line item titled “EMSA Medical Services Program.”

To cancel or to sign up, call 918-596-9511 from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday or from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays.
