My son became sick in June and the hospital we had him at could not handle his condition and they had him transfered. Our insurance covered it all from what I saw in the hospital bill. 6 month later we recieved an $11,482.82 ambulance bill. Searching the internet they apparently bill separately.
The notice says " Thank you for providing your insurance information. However, the information provided was insufficient to bill your insurance. Please contact our customer service department as soon as possible." I do plan to but as it is 11pm on a Saturday I doubt they answer. But you can see how this can be worrisome.
I was wondering if anyone can explain to me the bill.
CODE DESCRIPTION UNITS CHARGE A0434 PICU BASE 1 9,377.32 A0425 SCT MILEAGE 22 1,270.50 A0382 DISPOSABLE SUPPLIES 1 165.00 A0999 NIGHT CHARGE 1 70 A0420 WAIT TIME CCT PER 30 1 600.00
My thoughts to this bill: No idea what is a picu base but it sounds like ambulance equipment that they should have and are just tacking the bill on me. Would be extremely helpful if someone can explain this one for me.
Mileage, is self explanatory. Disposable supplies, I assume is the IV Night charge, I assume is cause it was used at night
Wait time, I do not remember ever telling them to wait.
I also plan to send a letter mail to get more itemized bill. Disposable supplies are not good enough for me even though it seems to be the least of my concerns.
Any recommendations on how to solve the issue with the company is welcome. I plan to call them tomorrow or Monday if they are not open on Sunday.
Thanks for any help or insights you can provide.
