The Paramedic Subscription Program is an optional membership program that offers enrolled Fullerton residents and business owners with unlimited emergency medical treatment from Fire Department First Responders and Paramedics. 

Question and Answer
Q: What type of medical treatment is covered?
A: Depending on your medical emergency, Fire Department personnel will provide medical treatment that may be categorized as one of two levels:

1. BLS (Basic Life Support) -- examples of BLS treatment include CPR techniques,  airway obstruction management, or use of an AED. 
2. ALS (Advanced Life Support) -- examples of ALS treatment include IV access, administration of medication, or advanced cardiac life support techniques. 

Q: What are the fees for emergency medical treatment? 

1. A First Responder fee of $281.00 applies to both BLS and ALS medical emergencies.
2. For ALS treatment, an additional fee of $379.00 applies. 

Since July 1983, the City of Fullerton has charged a per-call fee for Paramedic services. This fee applies to residents and nonresidents alike, and the amount of the fee depends on the type of service rendered. An ALS (Advance Life Support) charge is currently $379 and a BLS (Basic Life Support) charge is $281.00.

As a Fullerton resident or Business Owner/Manager, you have an alternative to these per call fees. You can take advantage of a special Paramedic Subscription Program that provides paramedic coverage at a very moderate annual cost. The subscription cost for one year (July 1 through June 30) is as follows:

• Residents: $46 per year
• Business Owners/Managers: $46 per year for every 10 employees or portion thereof.

If you enroll after June 30, there is a $10 late fee and you will only be covered for the remainder of that subscription year.

The subscription cost for residents covers you and all members of your household for first responder and paramedic services. For businesses, the fee provides paramedic services to you and your employees during business hours only.

Please be aware that the Fullerton Paramedic Subscription Program fee does not include ambulance transportation costs. These fees are billed separately.

The Program is only available to Fullerton residents and/or business owners and their employees and the fee is non-refundable.
