Ambulance rides for just $100? Government advisers want major billing fixes
A panel of government advisers wants to cap on how much patients would have to pay if they took an ambulance.
A panel of government advisers finally has endorsed ideas for Congress to solve the particularly thorny problem of surprise ambulance bills, including a cap on how much patients would have to pay if they took an ambulance.
Surprise bills have been eliminated for most health care services, but people who take out-of-network ground ambulances remain broadly unprotected — facing potentially thousands of dollars and the threat of collections for a ride that nobody really asks for.
