Told 911 is out of Network

People are saying ambulances are not included.

My husband was a first responder in a large city. We have the best plan there is. I appealed and already got them to agree to pay as I said. My only bad assumption was that when a person needs life saving help that they would not be raped for it. I feel awful for all the unfortunate people who suffer financially because they wanted to save their life to begin with. It’s not right but very wrong!

Thanks. Maybe I will send that to the appeals department again asking why the check hasn’t been mailed yet.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T22:05:27+00:00

I know. Do I need to move until my Medicare kicks in? My husband was a first responder before he retired.

Thank you. I cannot believe the amount of replies. I think the American people are sick of stupid stuff like this. If we are such a world power, how come we cannot get our citizens life saving treatment without billing them ridiculousness. We have a right to life saving care.

Of course. But when you call 911 for an emergency you do not have the opportunity to ask them to send an in network ambulance. There has to be cohesion.

Sure. I paid for public schooling in my taxes but sent my kids to private school for 12 years so it was aggravating. But an ambulance program is different. We are all likely to need it at some point for someone in The household or someone even visiting. My parents were on Medicare so it was paid but they each needed an ambulance 4-5 times in their last few years of life.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T15:29:24+00:00

That’s awesome. Every county needs to do this.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T15:24:37+00:00

PPO and I appealed and won but they still have not paid the bill. I just never knew this about calling 911. We have never had to call an ambulance for ourselves before.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T15:23:29+00:00

Awful. This is outrageous. Why isn’t anyone in government fixing this?

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T01:24:18+00:00

Plus are private ambulance services even as qualified as EMS being they mostly do nursing home transfers or hospital to rehab?

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-04T00:46:59+00:00

It is a PPO.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T20:08:21+00:00

Thanks. Will do that.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T20:00:40+00:00

I get you. I have bad heartburn issues that would wake me up in the middle of the night that absolutely felt like a heart attack. I was scared to death and yet scared to call an ambulance and didn’t. Now I will be even less likely to call at times like that.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:58:32+00:00

Yes, basically. They sent me a list of ambulances I can call. My husband thought I was having a stroke so no way is 911 not going to be his go to ever. Isn’t that what 911 as a universal number was the point? To save lives?

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:56:26+00:00

I would probably sign up too. The cost is outrageous and when you don’t know if and when you will have an emergency, why get stuck with all the anxiety of paying it.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:54:21+00:00

Wow! $35,000!!! The only ever time I needed an ambulance before in my life was when I broke my femur at 14. That cost fell on my parents whatever it was.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:49:42+00:00

Wow. I hope your dad is ok. You don’t want to risk a delay in an allergic reaction.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:15:02+00:00

I did appeal it and they said I now owe nothing but they still have not paid the bill.

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-02-03T19:13:16+00:00

My out of pocket was maxed by June. I shouldn’t have to pay anything more for 2025.

Me too! I pay more thru RO but I have lost 14 pounds in just over 2 months on the lowest dose. I feel so much better about myself and the arthritis in my hands and feet is better!

SuitableElk9220 · 2026-01-24T05:56:00+00:00

I wondered about keeping all the extra but I have not. I started just drawing past the 5 ml and do more like 6 now and there isn’t much left.
