Munhall Area Prehospital Services (MAPS) was established in 1996, and it primarily covers the geographic areas of Munhall and Homestead. Their ambulances are staffed by paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) for 365 days per year and 24 hours per day.
Last week, I was in Homestead, and I became briefly unresponsive after donating blood. Someone called 911, and soon a MAPS ambulance arrived. Three very courteous workers evaluated me by doing my vital signs, blood sugar, and mental examination. By that time, my health was normal except for my face looking pale and blue.
The workers asked me if I wanted to be transported to a hospital, and I replied that I am a nurse and that I just need to drink water rather than spend time and money in an emergency department. They agreed, and they called a physician who also agreed. We parted ways, and I went home with my husband to drink water and eat food. Now I feel much stronger.
Update: A couple of weeks later, I received a bill for this service. The total cost for my non-transport assessment was $200.
To this review, I will attach photos of my report for non-transport/treatment. Their carbon-copy did not work, so my personal information is not visible! read more
