Ambulance rides are the source of unexpected medical bills for many Americans, even those with health insurance. A Kaiser Family Foundation report found that 51% of emergency ambulance rides for privately insured individuals included an out-of-network charge that can lead to a surprise medical bill.
Even if you’re transported for an emergency, you will likely pay for a portion of the ambulance ride through a copayment, deductible and coinsurance. You may pay even more if your health insurance company doesn’t contract with the ambulance company.
