I had an ER visit a month ago and needed to be transferred to another hospital for a procedure.
Same #healthcare organization owns both hospitals AND the ambulance corps.
Hospitals are about 40 minutes apart.
The ambulance is NOT IN NETWORK and the bill was about $7000, or $2000 more than I paid out of pocket for my ER visit, my hospital A stay (5 nights), my procedure, and an additional night in hospital B.
$12000 total. 60% of that for a 40 minute ride.
Fuck this fucking system.
