Related To The Ambulance Ride

I just got a bill in the mail telling how much the 4 or 5 minute ride in the ambulance to the hospital was, where all they did was start an IV, put an oxygen thing around my nose, and put EKG pads on me. (The trip was over before they could actually do anything.) $925. I knew they charged a lot for those rides...

Good news: My insurance paid all except $200, and Mom and Dad are helping out with that. I can't wait to see how much the bill for the actual stay in the hospital is.

When my husband went from one ICU to another hospital's ICU that was about 20 miles away, the insurance paid entirely for the ambulance ride, which is a good thing. Especially since the bill was for over $50,000.
