WilliamHuskerAdama

Dragging things out for your clients for no reason other than continuing to get paid is unethical business practise
WilliamHuskerAdama
Longer they drag it out, bigger the chance of settlement or other party giving up. Didn't say it's ethical, but they're paid to do it
MyHorseAteMyPaycheck
But yes, now we're waiting on their insurance company's lawyer to get started with their discovery process, which will take months.
MyHorseAteMyPaycheck
In this case, it was the at-fault's insurance company dragging their feet on providing a decent counter-offer before we decided to sue.

What if it was a minor surgery that just numbed the area?

Maybe couldn't afford staying in the hospital and now his insurance won't pay because he's back in the hospital before 30 day period is over

It does happen, unfortunately. Most ins pays for 1 visit of a type per month; er has to treat, but not keep you unless it's really warranted

Ingrown toenail counts as surgery?
boomboomk9000
Wouldn't driving after that hurt?
brunettebec
You just can't feel the toe you had the operation on. He rest of your foot is functional and pain free - until a couple of hours later!
Horsed
Since they wanted to give me full knock out anesthesia for this: I still wouldn't drive (even less manual shift)
SjorsM
If you're into drama. I would call that a small medical procedure.
StarkeRealm
I called it, "they cut off a piece of my foot." But, I was more into "oh god it hurts," when I originally called it that.
Tritan2
While it's a small medical procedure, an infected ingrown toenail hurts more than you can imagine. Strange but true.
SjorsM
I know it hurts. I've had it. It felt worse than breaking an arm. But I wouldn't call the procedure surgery.
Tritan2
I agree.
ReJokeStatistics
At least it was a short trip. Ambulance will probably still charge you $1000.
mrahhhhh
Can confirm. Just paid a $900 ambulance bill. Husband doesn't remember being in it from being too drunk.
Sparrow99
they charge $50 per ride here in New Zealand no matter the distance. If someone calls for you at an accident scene it's free.

LEFTHALL
Seems strange to me how EMTs are paid so little while the ride in their ambulances cost so much.
ComradeV
I make $10/hr my medic makes $15/hr, we also clean and maintain the trucks. So that's a good question.
d3jake
Cost of ambulances, maintenance, equipment, maintenance, turnover of supplies, crew's pay(hourly wage, even if they don't run a call), /1
d3jake
and all of that must mesh with the fact that they're not going to collect for every run they perform. /2
GitRightStik
Average is about $1,000 PLUS supplies. It's even worse if they take you to a hospital that refuses your insurance and you reroute.
DavidVolpe
My ride cost me $5000 and the hospital was 1 block away...
GerberLegalTeam
Well that's silly.
d3jake
We need a little more than you got a ride to vet out how reasonable it is.
DavidVolpe
They gave me a ride to the hospital. They tried to give me an IV but failed after the 5th time. Nothing else was done.
d3jake
Sounds suspicious. I don't know of a service that would charge that much, or manage to miss an IV five times in a block.
GitRightStik
Did the Paramedics pole dance for you the whole trip??
ReJokeStatistics
I'm assuming the second part is for non-emergency situations? In the US, they can't refuse to treat emergencies for insurance reasons.
theeviltaco
Doesn't really matter what you say at this point. The "fuck America" bandwagon is in full swing in this thread.
MelodiousDissonance
1 If the emergency is deemed "non life threatening" they can :/ my mom called an ambulance after puking blood found a massive tumor
MelodiousDissonance
2 she was stable, but about to have surgery the next day, insurance called, said to transfer her,by car -.-,to another hospital for surgery
MelodiousDissonance
2 she was stable, but about to have surgery the next day, insurance called, said to transfer her,by car -.-,to another hospital for surgery
GitRightStik
No, but many hospitals have been caught refusing ambulances that are on the way from "poor" neighborhoods, and then reroute to a County one.
AgolfHiller
What's wrong with Americans?
pandro
to be clear, a "life threatening" emergency will get treated. but if you read EMT boards, they get calls for the stupidest stuff.
vagabondmedic
Well, hospitals are not allowed to divert ambulances unless their ED's are full. Even still, an EMS unit can choose not to divert if needed.
incorporeal5
Internal disaster and specialty care are the only reasons an ambulance can be forced to divert.
ReJokeStatistics
Well that's kinda fucked up.
andTestament
That's American healthcare.
GitRightStik
I know right? Poors trying to get into nice hospitals? Disgusting.
thejadefalcon
What kind of third world country charges you for ambulance trips, let alone that much?
z3lfmoord
We may pay for insurance, but we don't get taxed 50-60 percent.
SmellOfMonkey
Are you saying that any country with a nationalised healthcare system has 50-60 tax?
ohnoitsdan
I volunteer as an EMT...we started billing our county for rides. Its more than $500+, and can easily be much more for distance/level of care
YeOldeComrade
Been to some 3rd world countries and apparently they've better healthcare than USA. Like, they don't even pay for ambulance trips.
slayston
You just need to wait 3 hours for the ambulance to show up...
YeOldeComrade
Only if you live in the middle of nowhere, smh. Even tho I once had an emergency at 2am in the middle of nowhere and it got there in ~20min
pikapoof
Where I live in Ontario it costs around $45. Buuut when I lived in Nova Scotia a few years back it was around $500-600.

In finland abmbulance costs just a little more than a taxi. And usually it's covered by insurance.

vagabondmedic
I'm not sure if you know what an EMS service budget really runs. An ALS based service, with modern equipment and training, would strip (1/2)
vagabondmedic
most communities tax bases. Positive revenue is necessary, or the service stagnates. Even volunteer services need revenue for operations.

police or schools were funded, that way people would not be hit with huge bills
