We brought our 7 months old to ER due to covid and croup then they gave him all the treatment at the ER but his Pedia was not comfortable sending our boy home so she wants him to get observe for 6 to 8 hours. The problem was ER can't let us stay that long so his Pedia referred him to Loma Linda Children Hospital which is 65 miles away from our place. I asked them if we can just bring him there by ourselves but they said if we do that there will be no guarantee he'll have a room so we got no choice but to take their transport which is the ambulance. We've waited around 6 hours before the ambulance arrived and he got transported along with my wife. My wife said our baby was so behave and calm, no supplemental oxygen or other treatment given. It was only plain ride. Now we're getting charged $5400 for that?! His insurance didn't even cover portion of it. What should we do? Can we negotiate the price? We don't want to pay that kind of amount because his ER treatment was cheaper and he got better. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you
