AMR (American Medical Response)

PE-Owned

Owned by Warburg Pincus

Warburg Pincus and KKR acquired AMR, the largest ambulance services company in the US, through KKR-backed Envision Healthcare. AMR has been at the center of the surprise billing crisis — patients transported by AMR have received enormous out-of-network bills for emergency ambulance rides. The No Surprises Act partially addressed ambulance billing.
