A few years ago I had to get picked up by an ambulance, and got to pay $500 for the privilege.
That was the cost with insurance, and my job actually has pretty good insurance...
how much did your insurance cover? I mean ambulances are free where I live, but it would be excusable if it costs like 600$ (don't get me wrong, that's still terrible)
I don't have the invoice anymore but I think it said it was around $1300
That's a little less than what my primary charged my insurance for an office visit in 2022. Including $200 for a mental health screening that, offense intended to the well known institution that runs the office, was worthless and unnecessary because I've already received actual professional help for that and I know what it looks like, thanks.
A friend of mine recently had to call an ambulance and he had to pay 3k. He has insurance.
