Ambulance Fees – Argue Later, not Before
Share with others
When you are in an emergency and the ambulance comes to pick you up, you often don’t have a choice as to which medical professionals or ambulabnce service is on its way. You wake up in the hospital full of tubes sticking out of your arms and sometimes mouth.
This is not the best time to ask wether or not what is being done to you is covered by your insurance…
However, after the fact if your health insurance company tries to stick you with out of network fees for emergency services, argue till your head turns blue. You have no choice as to who picks you up and you MUST be treated in an emergency situation…but dont for a second believe that you MUST accept every charge the hospital gives you. Research it, look into it…but when you are healthy again.
Unfortunately, this type of argument is only usually done when someone has a third party such as a family member helping to mediate for you. Being sick or in an emergency often drains you, so look for support from friends and family if possible.
