Why You Should Think Twice Before You Call An Ambulance.

 When there’s a medical emergency, the modus operandi is to call 911 and ask for an ambulance. In those tense moments, the last thing people think about is just how much that hospital ride might cost. After all, the insurance covers it, right? Well, not necessarily. Blogcredit.com tells the story of a woman whose car accident prompted an ambulance ride to the local hospital that cost $2,400. Several people have reported paying “upwards of $1000 for simple transportation between medical facilities,” even without the flashing red lights and sirens.
