Depends on where in the world you are. For the US, it's on a state-by-state basis but rescue is usually free as long as it's a true emergency and you weren't blatantly reckless to begin with. For other parts of the world, you might get a bill to recover the cost of rescue. But in most cases it's still usually free. (Medical care once you get back to civilization is a different story.)
