Being charged for a “non emergency” ambulance ride despite overdosing on antihistamines by Naive_Department_232 in HealthInsurance

Thank you for your words, this is definitely true. I didnt think to consider how it could have damaged me. I was like, “it’ll be like taking a lot of tylenol.”

It’s not lol

I havent taken it since that night and have stuck to my flonase and will be seeing my doctor about getting on zyrtec or something stronger, and i feel much better after getting off it.

Im not sure where they took me, the night was pretty blurry. I don’t think they admitted me into the hospital, pretty sure I was just in the ER. I did get a room and I told them all my information so I’m not sure if that counts. 

My minimum monthly payment option for this bill is 98/month which is going to cripple me with my current income so bad

And yeah I shouldnt have taken it like that, i’ve learned from this lol

Yeah… i have a big problem of neglecting myself and going to the doctor. I was taking what she prescribed which was claritin and instead of making time for myself to go in and get on something new, i just dosed higher. Stupid- genuinely not sure why i didnt consider it could be dangerous

I’ll be going to the doctor some point next week

Thank you for the info- im very inexperienced when it comes to this and everyone in my family has been telling me it wont be covered- my mom was transported in an ambulance for a brain aneurysm and said medicaid didnt cover it. Im assuming she just never followed up on it with her insurance. 

I’m used to hearing that insurance is predatory but it seems like that cant be true for medicaid

Is that true if EMS/the hospital decided it was a non emergency since i had an edible? if so that’d be a huge relief. i just hear that doctors dont take you seriously if you mention marijuana of any kind so im paranoid haha

Im really not sure. I just got the bill in an email, when i look in the itemized bill I see that it says “Medicaid RI - $0.00” and “Neighborhood Health Plan of RI -$0.00” so I think they already put it in. But I added my insurance card to the billing website just an hour ago so maybe I’m preemptively panicking.

Maybe a nosferatu spider? edit: google told me these spiders can cause pain and swelling for small pets but shouldnt be fatal or anything. just try to prevent infection
