> For example, as an uninsured person, you might be charged $1,200 for the ambulance ride, whereas a BlueCross BlueShield person's insurance policy would pay only $600, the plan's negotiated amount.
Holy sh*t! $1200!!! for an ambulance ride? I had no idea it costs that much. I live in Canada and I got hauled off involuntarily to the hospital in an ambulance. I stayed in the ER for the night and was locked up for 3/4 days in the psych ward. I have no idea how much this all cost. I only had to pay $45 for the ambulance.
How much would it cost?
I'm so sorry you have to go through this PhoenixGirl. I'm sorry you didn't get any help from your experience and now you have to pay for it as well.
What do people with no insurance do anyways? Die?
