Have you ever received an ambulance surprise bill?

Tell us your ambulance surprise billing story.  

When a medical emergency strikes, we quickly seek medical care. And usually that means calling for an ambulance. What isn’t at the top of our minds, is whether our insurance will cover the trip.

Yet one out of two insured people who use an ambulance for a medical emergency are exposed to a surprise bill because the ambulance that responded was not in their insurance network.

Most insured people know the best way to keep down your out-of-pocket spending for health care is to use a hospital and doctor in your health plan’s network. But when you call 9-1-1, the dispatcher sends the closest ambulance. 

We can’t choose which ambulance responds, but it can make a huge difference in the bill we’ll receive.

Every month, the federal No Surprises Act prevents about 1 million surprise medical bills from out-of-network hospitals and air ambulances. 

However, the No Surprises Act does not protect patients from ground ambulance surprise bills.

Help our campaign to win protections from ambulance surprise bills. We want to spread the word about the problems people face when they receive a whopping bill from an ambulance company.
