this must apply to EMS first responder service and ambulance service -
because I am pretty sure that the clinics are staffed by contractors
and I am sure they send bills to patients

Medical Services Fund (+$2,000,000 / +0 FTE) – In 2019, Sec. 2404 of
P.L. 116-9 (the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and
Recreation Act) authorized the NPS to collect fees for medical
services provided in park units. It established the National Park
Medical Services Fund in the Treasury to hold these collections, but
it did not authorize the NPS to retain the fees, nor did it make the
collections directly available to the NPS. For the NPS to access these
funds, Congress must provide an appropriation. Without an
appropriation, the collections remain part of general Treasury revenue
and score as an offset to overall government spending.
The NPS currently collects fees for medical services at ten units:
Death Valley NP, Glen Canyon NRA, Grand Canyon NRA, Grand Teton NP,
Lake Mead NRA, Mesa Verde NP, Sequoia NP, Yellowstone NP, Yosemite NP,
and Zion NP.
