> You don't have to look far to find people in financial emergencies because the ambulance provider didn't take their insurance or to find people with significant injuries begging a friend to take them to the hospital rather than phoning an ambulance because they are uninsured. That is a wholly different situation where the patient is making the decision because of a lack of insurance instead of the EMS provider. And…it’s generally because of ignorance that folks make that decision. They base it on rumor and assumption, where in many cases a simple phone call or two is all it takes to get those large charges decreased significantly. An ambulance provider has zero benefit to them in intentionally creating a bad debt account that will ultimately default.
