OMG, last month I had a medical emergency not due to psych issues requiring my husband to call 911 for an ambulance. Not our choice, without emergency surgery, I likely would have died. I got the bill from the city for the ambulance ride today. $928! I am not sure if they tried to bill my lousy insurance or not. And apparently, you can call and make a payment plan with them which we will have to do, God knows how much I will owe for the surgery, 6 days in the hospital, and upcoming diagnostic tests. Plus, they had the gall to charge me $150 more for mileage to drive another 20 minutes to get to a reputable hospital versus the closest one with an awful reputation! I tell you, no one in my city goes to that hospital unless they have no choice.
Oh, and the bill was due March 12 but postmarked March 14, so I only just got it. My husband took several pics of the postmarked envelope.
Insurance & medical bills suck!
