In 1974, Quaker Valley Ambulance Authority was organized as the second municipal ambulance authority in the United States, providing EMS and medical transportation services to Aleppo Township, Bell Acres Borough, Edgeworth Borough, Glenfield Borough, Leet Township, Leetsdale Borough, Haysville Borough, Glen Osborne Borough, Sewickley Borough, Sewickley Heights and Sewickley Hills.
The Board of Directors is comprised of one appointed representative from each municipality, providing each community with an equal vote - regardless of its population or size.
In 1974, Quaker Valley Ambulance Authority entered into a joint operating agreement with Valley Ambulance Authority to share facilities, personnel, administrative costs and operational expenses.
The Authority is co-headquartered with Valley Ambulance Authority in a facility located at 3550 University Boulevard in Moon Township, between the Sewickley Bridge and Coraopolis.
The mission of both authorities is to provide exceptional emergency care and medical transportation services to the residents and visitors of their communities.
QVAA owns and operates two (2) Mobile Intensive Care Ambulances and one (1) wheelchair van - all of which are part of the combined fleet with VAA.
Annual Call Volume:
Combined responses for VAA and QVAA totaled more than 10,000 last year including ~ ~7,000 ambulance and ~3,000 wheelchair van transports
Funding:
Quaker Valley Ambulance Authority is a non-profit municipal authority supported by insurance payments and donations. QVAA also receives proceeds from an annual municipal per-capita tax assessment which is currently established at a rate of $9.00 per resident.
Billing Policy Change:
Effective January 1, 2021, QVAA residents who require medically necessary emergency ambulance service, will receive a 50% discount on any applicable co-payment, deductible or other required out of pocket amount, which is not covered by their insurance.
Prior to January 1, 2021, the policy was to not charge residents for these cost sharing amounts. However, a policy change was required due to rising rising EMS system expenses and and declining per trip revenue. Although, this policy change does hold resident's responsible for a limited amount of out-of-pocket expenses, the 50% discount is a great value and is identical to the discount offered to Valley Ambulance Authority subscribers.
QVAA residents also receive discounts on other types of medical transportation
services provided by QVAA, such as non-emergency ambulance transports and wheelchair
van trips.
Quaker Valley Ambulance Authority is a IRS designated 501 (c) 3 charitable organization.
