The hospital was in network, but the ambulance provider was not. Seriously? Do they expect you to shop around for an in network ambulance while you’re on the phone with 911? This should be criminal.

I’m pretty happy I had it. $150k in chemo and nothing out of pocket.

That’s a garbage practice. If I go to U of U healthcare for service, they should bill me. The hospital should negotiate
