I tried to say no, just let us drive, but they wouldn’t allow it. If BUD wasn’t there I woulda said ok I’m leaving and drove myself.

We have a fine HSA account but it still should be way way better and things should be way way cheaper so that people don’t turn down help because it’s so ridiculously overpriced.

Tricky ambulance company charged my insurance company 3,100 for a 50 minute ride.
Called my insurance company in late December and they said, to my surprise, we paid them, you are covered. Was pretty stunned but considering how much I paid to my deductible and overages, I figured I got fortunate in an unfortunate situation.

Got a bill from them not soon after they said they paid but my insurance company said to ignore it. They had paid.

Today I get a FINAL WARNING notice saying I still owed over 2,200 and that it was going to collections. Called them up, spoke with the president, and he was pretty much an asshole telling me that I was wrong and that I owed them money.

Called insurance company once again. Thankfully the state of Maine has taken a look at this problem ( thanks government ) and passed something last year ( whew ) that bans balance billing -- which protects huge bills from out of network costs ( which is basically ALL ambulance services ). They ( ambulance services ) retail their costs to a ridiculous fucking degree and now our state has determined a more reasonable cost of operations ( which dropped the cost to 950 - still fucking pricey for 50 minutes ) and that's the amount the insurance companies pay into. They paid 80% of that. I'm on the books for 20%.

Called guy back. Said I was wrong. Told him I had read up on the law. The insurance agent told me the law. Said everything was by the books. Said we're putting your bill into collection anyways.

Some people fucking blow to eternity.
