5k to 10k. So people risk death, drive themselves, find a ride somehow and refuse to get on when it gets called.
There have been some new laws about credit scores and medical debt, but before these laws, everyone was on health issue away from a lifetime sentence of poor credit here. And even these new laws are a grey area of helpfulness.
It looks like there was a new law passed in 2022 i wasn’t aware of but billers have found loopholes to bill after the fact for larger amounts.
I’ve taken an ambulance and after whatever insurance covered my bill was over 5k. A few years ago, my sister had a fall outside and was unconscious and an ambulance was called. She had a bill for close to 10k.
There are a lot of private ambulance companies that charge different rates and different hospitals have different rates so a lot of the time it depends on who picks you up.
Ambulances charge? Like taxis?
Weird America. Weiiiiiird.
I’d rather take a taxi to the hospital because it’ll be cheaper

That can’t be real. The ambulance would pay itself off only after 40 or so rides which can happen in 1-2 weeks.
