I wouldn't even wanna know what it costs down here for a ride. I think an unnecessary ER visit starts at around $500 w/out the ambulance ride.(BTW, it's up to the insurance company to decide if your visit was necessary, meaning they'll probably say it wasn't, unless you were near death or had something broken.) All I know is, i pay almost $200 a month for health insurance, and I gotta pay a $25 copay everytime I see a doctor on top of that. plus, i just got some blood drawn for a physical, but since it was just a check up and nothing's actually wrong with me, i gotta pay $210 for the lab fees. and i got good insurance, too, blue cross blue shield, other insurances would charge more.
