How to Avoid Getting an Ambulance Bill

If you have received an Ambulance Bill and you really don’t want to pay for it… these may be some of your options:

1. Find that you are entitled to free Ambulance Cover through one of the many options, such as: being a Pensioner, having a state organised Ambulance Levy (such as electric bills levy), Ambulance Insurance or Private Health Insurance which covers Ambulance, currently be on a Welfare Program, Unemployed, or Returned Serviceman/woman (Veteran’s Affairs)

You don’t fit into any of these categories… hmm, lets see…

2. You can make someone else pay for the Ambulance Bill. This would include Workers Compensation cases, where you were injured at work, Motor Vehical Accidents, where the motor vehical insurance should cover your Ambulance Bill, or the old fashioned method… you can attempt to point the finger of blame at someone else or an organisation which was negligent and attempt to Sue for compensation and Ambulance Bill payment.

3. At the time of requiring an Ambulance, you may give the paramedic your wrong address and contact details. However, I wouldn’t recommend this method (not just because it is illegal) because it will often result in an inability to locate relevant previous medical records that may be used to treat you (and even save your life)…

At all circumstance, we recommend that if you need an Ambulance in an emergency, call an Ambulance… the Ambulance Bill should be a secondary thought, and any financial problems can be solved afterwards.
