How much a private ambulance costs and what you pay for

The price of a private ambulance call is not one figure but four parts: the call-out, the procedures, the transport and, outside the ring road, the mileage. An honest service names every part before the crew leaves. Here is the breakdown on our own price list, so you can read any provider’s bill.

Call-out
Standard crew inside the MKAD — 6,000 ₽, including examination, diagnosis and advice. In the Yuzhnoportovy and Danilovsky districts, next to our station — 3,500 ₽. Specialised or ICU crew — 15,000 ₽.
Procedures and drugs
Only with your consent: ECG 8,000 ₽, injection from 2,000 ₽, infusion from 7,000 ₽ per 30 minutes, oxygen and so on. The full list is on the prices page.
Transport
Inside the MKAD — 6,000 ₽ per each started 30 minutes. Beyond the MKAD time is not counted, only mileage at 200 ₽ per kilometre both ways. Stretcher carrying — 1,000 ₽ per floor.
Waiting
At the hospital admissions the first 15 minutes are free, then 10,000 ₽ per 30 minutes — rare, but you are told about it honestly.
Intercity
Outside the Moscow Region — 150 ₽ per kilometre with a standard crew or 200 ₽ with an ICU ambulance, both ways, plus the call-out. The calculator gives the figure in advance.

What not to do

Do not agree to a visit if the dispatcher will not quote the call-out price
Do not sign a contract with the amount left blank
Do not pay cash without a receipt
Do not believe "all inclusive for 3,000 ₽" — no licensed service works that way

What the crew does

The dispatcher quotes the call-out price before the crew departs
Every procedure is agreed with you, with its price
Contract and receipt on the spot; payment after the service
Calls are recorded, so the price cannot change afterwards

Questions

Why do some services charge 3,000 ₽ and others 6,000 ₽ for a call-out?

A cheap call-out is usually offset by expensive procedures or compulsory "diagnostics". Compare the total for a typical visit, not the call-out line.

Can I pay by card?

By a Russian bank card, by SBP transfer or in cash with a receipt. Foreign Visa and Mastercard do not work in Russia.

What if the crew turns out not to be needed?

Cancel before departure and nothing is charged. If the crew is already on the way, a compensation fee applies under the contract — less than the full call-out.
