Understand your bill

End Surprise Ambulance Bills.

Federal reform is slow. State-level mandates are the fastest path to protection. Demand that your state representatives close the "billing gap" and treat ambulances like essential emergency care.

GAPThe Billing Loophole

Most insurance only covers ambulance costs if you are transported. If an EMT treats you on-scene but you aren't taken to a hospital (TNT), you often face a $500+ "dry run" bill that insurance refuses to pay.

GOALOur Policy Goal

Mandate that all ambulance services—transport or treatment-only—are covered under emergency care frameworks with predictable copays.
