<prompt> Human: So a few months back I was at a rehab facility. While I was there I had a bad reaction to some sleeping medication and it was making me hallucinate after I woke up. So i tell the staff and they get concerned and convince me to go to some other place another rehab with better dr.s, At first i kept declining but they were very persistent. One of the staff ended up driving me like 20 miles to this place in a white van. I ended up leaving that other place within a few days and all was fine. Ive been clean and everything has been fine since then except the following; I got a HUGE FUCKING BILL2000 FOR THAT SHITTY VAN RIDE. they are calling it an emergency ambulance ride or some bullshit on the bill. I am just shocked at how they can basically twist my arm into doing something I didnt want to do, while my head is all messed up, and then turn around and rob me blind?? Do I have any recourse here? How can they do this?I currently am insured under my parents plan, I am still in college and 22.  <response>: I had a similar issue but with an actual ambulance. They drove me from one hospital to the ICU of a different hospital with a better cardiac team. Maybe a 10 mile trip total. Got a bill for 1,500 in the mail and was told insurance wouldnt cover it because they werent in network. Heres what I did:1. Called the ambulance company ASAP and told them the charges were being disputed with insurance, so that they would not take me to collections right away bought me some time. 2. Called the insurance company and disputed the charges. Since it was part of emergency care and the hospital staff called the ambulance, not me, it should be covered. 3. Called the ambulance company again after getting a letter threatening collections and told them the charges were being disputed and to put a hold on the bill. 4. Called the insurance company again and reiterated what I said before. They had reprocessed the claim but again decided to not cover it. Went through the same process as before but stayed on the line until they got me to a tier 2 claims department. 5. Finally got confirmation that insurance would pay my claim, then called the ambulance company to let them know the status of the claim. All in all, it took me about two months to get everything worked out. I agree that lawyers arent needed, just be persistent in making sure the insurance company does its job.
