    Lol tell that to the $1500 ambulance bill I got from when they drove me 3 miles in Baltimore to a hospital

    Oh and the dude I knew in Baltimore that ran his own private ambulance service. Yea, they’re not all funded through local gov and run by firefighters

      Your comment made me look up the way Maryland does it, and yes, it varies a lot by county.

      Have you received care from EMS without being taken to the hospital? The case posted by OP did not involve going to the hospital, and so I used an example that did not involve going to the hospital. I had a vague impression that if you require transport to a hospital, you are more likely to be billed for it.
