@crazylegodad: Got charged $250 for being checked out after doing CPR. Thanks Alberta!! #albertahealthservices #albertalife #edmonton #doctorlife @ctv @Globalnews.ca
Absolutely not. I noticed you tagged a couple of news outlets. Keep that up. None of this makes sense. I would be furious.

Because they checked your blood pressure. Even if they don't transfer you but check you out they charge you

Do you think a first responder should be charged after saving a life? 😶🌫️

$250?!
In Ontario, an ambulance bill is $45. also, the fact they charged you for anything AT ALL, is insane.

Sounds like AHS double billed? The person who the ambulance was called for will get one and you who they just checked out and didn’t transport…. Maybe your MLA need to know too 🤷🏻♀️I’m sorry this happened to you. ❤️🩹

In Nova Scotia they don’t charge you unless you get in the ambulance for transport. That’s wild.

Unfortunately you became a patient, you can appeal the bill though through humanitarian grounds. Reach out to AHS and explain the situation they may waive or reduce the bill

See if the Good Samaritan act does anything to get rid of the bill. Thank you for being a good person and saving a life!

I had paramedics come to my place for a medical event but I declined to go to the ER. I was so surprised when I received a bill! I also was even more surprised as someone who used to live in BC because why is it $250 to get checked out by paramedics when it’s only $80 for that AND the ambulance in BC

It’s both unfortunately. $250 to be assessed without transportation and $381 to be transported to hospital. It’s been like that for a very long time now (I used to work in EMS)

That’s crazy. If anything they should be paying you for saving the person before they arrived lol.

Gasp! This is crazy! Here in SK if you call an ambulance and you don’t go for a ride and just get checked out it’s free. You should never fear calling an ambulance because of the cost. 😭
