My bf and I, were at his primary physicians office for complaints of him feeling dizzy. Before the doctor could actually see him, while we were waiting he got up to ask if he could rest on a bed or cot instead of sitting down and as he was asking this of the nurse/staff personel, he fainted and slid down onto the floor. They took it upon themselves to call 911 for an ambulance, and I said "I can drive him thats hundreds of dollars!" They said "We already made the call" SHE WAS still on the phone and had only called 5 seconds ago- they arrived and took him to the hospital and now we get a bill for $800 for the AMBULANCE services. WHAT the hell is this? I informed them that I could take him myself and now we have this bill? Granted I havent mailed off proff of insurance yet, I only got it today, but when he has gone before in an ambulance we never got a bill, at all for it. NOTHING. Are we responsible for this when THEY took it upon themselves to call an ambulance despite my words
