Ever thought your insurance had you covered, then got hit with a $1,000+ ambulance bill for a 4-mile ride? That’s what happened to Cathy in Charlotte—her insurance paid just $130 of a $1,397 charge because the ambulance wasn’t in-network. Turns out, most EMS rides aren’t, and patients get stuck with surprise bills. NC is trying to cap these at $100, but critics say it could make premiums go up. When you call 911, you don’t get to pick your ambulance, but you sure get the bill! #MedicalBills #AmbulanceFees #HealthInsurance #Health
