Subject: Re: United Health Care(UHC) refused to pay full ambulance cost

Comments:
: I recently had a ski accident anb broke my hip bone. I was sent to the hospital by an ambulance. It's a nearly 2 hour drive. Yesterday I received a statement from United Health Care(UHC), they would only about $1100 out of the totally $2300 ambulance bill. I called them, they told me the ambulance is out of network and they pay 100% of UCR rate, and left the rest $1200 to me. This just doesn't look right to me. I was in no condition checking out or bargaining what ambulance and at what rate I wanted to use. What can I do to this $1200 bill? Should I call the ambulance company to negotiate the cose? or should I file a appeal to UHC? Any adive on how to deal wih this situation? And BTW, I have PPO of UHC.
