The Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority will raise rates for their services as it faces a $4 million deficit. Its governing board, which is elected by the Kanawha County Commission, approved the rate increase. Ambulance fees will go up by 200 percent to help stabilize the KCEAA financially. Consumers generally don’t feel the pinch, but insurance companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Medicare and Medicaid may.
