Families Surprised By High Ambulance Prices

Town ambulance services, once financed by local taxes, are a thing of the past. Many cities trying to cut costs have contracted with private companies. For-profit ambulance companies are a growth business. While towns save money, consumers get caught in the middle. When you dial 911 for a medical emergency, a for-profit ambulance company might respond. Keep in mind, it might not be covered by your insurance.
