Hospitals are a business, not a civil service.

From what I've seen, if you make it out the hospital without paying your bill don't even bother paying it

Nah, my mom went in for a tooth infection, didn't pay the bill and now they are suing her for $24,000 for a $2,000 bill.

Somebody I know was drunk and riding a quad....hit the back of a parked silverado at full speed and got airlifted. He said bill was like $140,000 I think buthe didn't have to pay anything cuz of insurance or medical

 

[bussinessilicitos]

When my brother got cut up, they were going to charge him like 2,400 for the ambulance, but since it was because he got cut they told him the city would payfor it.

If he had to be air-lifted, the bill should be the last thing to worry about.

You'd be surprised how many people mis-use ambulances. If they were free, people would be using them like a taxis.

If they got medicare it'll be covered. Certain hospitals like teaching or community hospitals have to eat costs from people who can't pay,but private hospitals who usually treat people with private insurances go after outstanding bills.

True. When I worked for a medical facility, one of the directors told me that ambulances weren't free and depending on the company that picksyou up you can get charged a minimum of $200. He said if your injury is not life threatening and you are within walking distance of a hospital then you shouldhop in a taxi or walk to the ER.

I say that all the time.

 

[All Ready]

From my understanding, the hospitals that aren't private get all missed money back thru taxes

My ex neighbor is rich but he never pays hospital bills, he told me it doesn't even affect his credit

Dude got a million dollar house/mansion but has illegal cable...haha

Just know, if I don't have insurance and I make it out the hospital door, I aint paying

Ofourse but its just shocking to see that price tag on a bill even though it was covered by the insurance.

I always tell all my peoples if anything happens never call an ambulance for me, drive me there and notify my folks.
