First thing this morning, I called the ambulance company to inquiry about the $709 bill I received for my ambulance ride to the hospital on Dec. 30, 2008. “Could you please explain why Medicare or my supplemental insurance policy will not cover the cost?” I asked. And lo and behold the employee told me to look at the bottom of the letter I received. It should say, “This is an invoice, not a bill!”
“Hurrah,” I replied when I read the statement, “I don’t have to pay you $709.” Well, at least for the time being anyway. The correspondence they sent simply let me know they had submitted a claim to Medicare and were waiting for the decision. Medicare may of course reject the bill and I will eventually have to pay the amount. But for the time being the ambulance company won’t get my money.”
