Can you be billed for ambulance service did not agree to?
Yes, in some cases, you can be billed for ambulance service even if you did not agree to it. This can happen if:* You are unconscious or otherwise unable to consent to treatment at the time of the ambulance ride.
* You are a minor and your parent or guardian did not consent to the ambulance ride.
* You are in an emergency situation and the ambulance crew determines that you need to be transported to the hospital.
In these cases, you may still be held responsible for the ambulance bill, even if you did not explicitly consent to the service. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, in some states, you may not be billed for ambulance service if you were the victim of a crime or if you were transported to the hospital for a mental health emergency.
It is important to note that you should never be forced to pay for ambulance service that you did not agree to. If you receive a bill for ambulance service that you believe is in error, you should contact your insurance company or the ambulance company directly to dispute the charge.
