Oh we bill insurance companies and individuals if they don't have insurance. You prolly know well though the individuals usually get wrote off as bad debt after some time when they don't pay. With the addition of the inter-facility transport truck about a year ago we now cover about 75% of our operating budget with the remaining 25% supplemented from the county budget. We do our own billing too (no third party billing) so that means that the county doesn't turn it over to collections and no ding on your credit if you don't pay, so we do pretty good statistically speaking on our ratio for payments.
