Similarly, the federal No Surprises Act (2020) protects patients from surprise medical bills for most emergency care, but NOT ground ambulance services. Out-of-network charges are much higher than in-network, averaging ~$450 for ground ambulances. https:
@lukemetzger Not all. But most of them have an out of network strategy. They just don’t take insurance, charge what they please, and balance bill you for. Pretty well documented in research. https://t.co/6zI05J0dgs
He co-wrote a paper looking at ambulance rides from one national insurer and found that 71% were out of network, meaning the ambulance companies were not bound by a rate pre-negotiated with the insurer and could basically charge whatever they want https:/

@CourtneyChels @menaceinvelvet Fun fact: it's probably cheaper to buy a car and drive it to the hospital yourself than it is to get stuck in an air ambulance in the US https://t.co/7tQWW1uMDl
The federal "No Surprises" Act passed at the end of 2020 resolved air ambulance, but left ground ambulance unresolved. Roughly half of all #SurpriseBills in Pennsylvania come from ground ambulance. @pahealthaccess will continue to advocate for a fair solut

In the journal, @krchhabra of @ncspMICHIGAN & @BWHSurgery & coauthors find that 71% of all ambulance rides involve potential #surprisebills. Out-of-network charges exceed in-network by $450 & $21,698 for ground & air, respectively. Read the
“Medicare prohibits providers from balance-billing its beneficiaries, and some states have prohibited physicians from surprise-billing patients in fully insured commercial plans, these protections generally do not extend to ambulance charges.” https://t.co
“Because out-of-network ground ambulance rides were significantly more common, they had a larger aggregate impact: $129 million per year, versus $91 million per year for air ambulance transportation.” https://t.co/W2aVg3YZGS https://t.co/BDOu2bvKS8
While legislators work to end surprise billing, “out-of-network ambulance services have largely evaded proposed federal surprise-billing legislation,” with charges anywhere from $450 to $21,000 depending on ground or air ambulance transport. @healthaffairs
