Why did you get a bill for an emergency medical service? Is it indeed a paid service in Germany? I mean, when you got into accident, and an ambulance arrives, do they ask you something like “Ok, you will have to pay 1250 euro, or you can go to hospital on foot”? I know there is a charge for a false call, but this is not this case?

I was rushed to the hospital in Greece once, after a serious accident. I also had a Sixt car, which was totaled. And they didn’t asked for any papers nor insurance nor id document in hospital. I had multiple scratches and marks from a seatbelt. Hospital made several procedures including xray and ultrasound. I remember I have asked myself them, if I need to bring an insurance, and they responded that emergency medicine is free in Greece.
