In Your Opinion: Not Financially Safe To Call 9-1-1

September 11, 2023 Speak Out!

WHAT?!? No more 911?

Listen to this.

A couple weeks ago I was feeling ill and I was concerned that it might be a heart attack. I did what I have always been told to do – I – or my wife, actually – dialed 9-1-1 on my behalf. About 15 minutes later the EMTs arrived and told me that I was definitely not having a heart attack. I was, of course, glad to hear that.

Last Friday I received a bill from RWJ in the amount of $2000.

The EMTs had not informed me that there would be a charge for the call unless I allowed them to transport me to the hospital. According to them, I did not need further care, so I refused transport.
