well, after Z's blood giving and insuing passing out. the DR called out an ambulance, and they came. and we all decided that Z didn't need to goto the ER.
I ASSUMED this was a civil service and that we wouldn't be charged, but a workmate told me would. anybody know?
she got checked out by the paramedics, but they didn't take her to the ER....:shrug
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.
In NYC we have EMS along with private companies and they all bill you if you are brought to thehospital. I am not sure about this situation. A lot of the paramedics here tell the people thye will be billed for the ride since many call 911 for some ridiculous complaints. We always call them the red and white taqxi service.:shake

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".
i don't think you'll get charged as long as you don't ride in the amb. somewhere. that happened to my brother, they came but he didn't go anywhere w/ them, so no bill. On my occasion i rode in the amb. and got a bill for 3 bills 'bout a month later :mad .
:shrug i'm sure it'll take a long time for it to get here if we do get billed. and just as any other emergency room visit I could pay $1 on it until kingdom comes and they can't sue you because you are "trying" to pay. :shrug

if they worked at all, expect a bill.
heck, even in Canada we get billed for ambulance services.
It's only $45 here though.:redflip(even if you get a helicopter ride, I know)
You may get charged, buit hers the thing, sincethe doctor called it out it should be covered under your madical insurance. Just like him making a prescription.
Well you may... i had an ambulance come out for something a while back that I didnt need, someone else called. A private ambulance company came out too. Billed me like $500 or something for it. i never paid, fought it. ITs STILL on my credit report as unpaid....bastards.
