St Joseph EMS Medic 11

This EMS company is complete nonsense. I recently had a ride in an ambulance that was presented as critical It wasn't. The total charge was $1300. My insurance company paid them $978, and because they don't contract with insurance companies, they are looking to me for the remaining $300 plus. If I were a cash payer, they would write off the balance down to $845. They have already received that but because I have insurance, they are charging me almost 50% more. This is what is wrong with healthcare. Blame the insurance companies all you want but it is the opportunistic providers that drive excess costs!!! The ride itself was unnecessary but fine.

They told me last night that they wasn't going to lift me up. They told me that they should take me to the hospital because they won't be running back and forth to help me.

I have called for 3 weeks to get my billing information and no one has answered.
