I don't think so...but it might be different in different states. I know here and Michigan if they come but you deny to be taking by ambulance they can't charge you.

Ambulances are private companies.RACER X said:so like if you call the cops are you charged? also the fire dept?
so what do our taxes pay for then?
I don't know about that. My Dad was having a bad asthma attack and our local ambulance came out, as did an ambulance from the next town over. The out of town ambulance just came into the house and helped load my Dad up. Our local ambulance took my Dad to the hospital. My parents still received a bill from the out of town ambulance company for the "trip".Lil Bit said:I don't think so...but it might be different in different states.

It varies from town to town. NYC has FDNY/EMS but also uses private companies.RACER X said:well, when you call 911, arent they city ambulance that hang out at city firestations?
i usderstand there are private amb. co's. but they are usually used for transporting?
so it's a gamble? you might get charged or you might not....:confused if NO ride is given....tommymac said:
In Nassau the police dept has several ambulances and so does the volunteer FD, so it depends on who comes on a given call.

I was in an accident in Traverse City once but refused ambulance service after they had already showed up. I never got billed.nastycrossman said:

I dont think you will get billed, if they did something for you, it may be a possibility but I realy doubt it.RACER X said:so it's a gamble? you might get charged or you might not....:confused if NO ride is given....
