KINGSTON, N.Y. — The city’s comptroller expects revenues collected from insurers for the city-run ambulance service this year to exceed the $1.5 million budgeted for in the 2025 approved budget, possibly reaching $1.9 million by year’s end.

City Comptroller John Tuey told the Common Council’s Finance and Audit Committee on Wednesday, Sept. 10, that revenues collected from billing private insurers and Medicare and Medicaid for the Fire Department’s ambulance service averaged $160,000 over the past four months. That included $200,000 in the most recent month, he added. Revenues could reach $1.9 million by the end of this year and $2 million in 2026, according to Tuey.
