COVID Patient Stuck with $50,000 Ambulance Bill

Mar 18, 2021 | Emergency Transport, Video

The coronavirus has affected our world so much that you think you’d be numb to its impact by now. And then you hear about a story like this…

“BTW You Owe Us $50,000…”

A woman had been battling coronavirus before finally realizing she needed to go to the hospital. A matter between “life or death”, her family transferred her to the hospital. The patient had been flown via. an air ambulance from one hospital to another where she remained for six weeks before defeating the virus. Imagine her surprise when she got home that the ambulance company informed her, she owed $52,112 for that hospital-to-hospital trip.

It doesn’t seem fair, does it? The fact remains that this happens daily with ground transportation and air ambulances; Americans stuck with bills they cannot afford. If the pandemic has taught Americans anything, it’s that they need to prepare for the worst-case scenario to happen because there’s always a chance it might.
