My son was transported via ambulance 1/27/21 via ambulance at the Firefighter/EMT's request. My son was transported to ****** where our son has been a member since 2012. He was taken there at my request since that is the insurance provider we have. Note, ***'s ask about hospital preference and it was made clear that we were ****** members. We were then asked to give our KP Member # to the gentleman who was inputing our son's information to what looked like a tablet. Fast forward 3 years later we receive a bill for payment in the amount of $1,925.71. Why would I need to pay for an ambulance when they were given this information and they knew we were headed to ****** because that was our insurance provider? The insurance # (member #) was provided to them. It was provided when they loaded us into the ambulance and they gave it to ****** when we arrived at the hospital. How is it that they don't have it available?Additionally, upon further research it is shown that AMR is know to "mistakingly" not bill customers and then request payments at a later time. This is not only unethical, but negligent. We already pay for insurance and insurance that is meant to cover these astronomical fees.Lastly, an attempt to provide our information was made however the representative who was in another country (*****) was asking for my social security over the phone. Why would I give anyone my social security over the phone? From another country? It was made clear to him that they had my son's insurance information and that a social security number would not be provided. No one seeks medical treatments and provides their social security - especially not over the phone.I do not mind paying for a "copayment" for my son's transportation. However, I do not see how asking me to pay $2,000 is fair, just, or ethical.There has also been a letter we received from ************** Collector) that we would like corrected.

                        BBB Case number:      22994023

Dear Better Business Bureau:

Thank you for taking the time to contact our office with the consumers concerns. American Medical Response (AMR) values our customers and strives to provide quality **********************.

AMR has thoroughly reviewed the concerns raised by the consumer. Many patients come in contact with Emergency Medical Services because of friends,family, bystanders, or law enforcement officials. Ambulance services were requested through the 911 system on the consumers behalf based on his condition at the time of service. AMR provided appropriate care and transport; therefore, the charges incurred for services are valid and correct.

The documentation from the time of service was reviewed and no insurance information was received. Unfortunately, we did not receive any further communication on this trip and the balance ultimately defaulted to collections on September 3, 2021. The consumer later received a collection agency notice which prompted contact to our office on February 9, 2024. At this time, the balance for this trip remains due with the collection agency.

Should the consumer have further questions, please contact our customer ********************** department at **************.

Sincerely,

****** *.

Hi there, I checked my credit report and have a collection report on my account of 2380. I dont remember the exact day but I was dialed to receive any type of information in the mail regarding any bill for a non emergency services. I never got the chance to provide any type of insurance or notified of any bill before collections showed up on my account. Please contact me regarding this situation.

Our office has reviewed the consumers concerns. Several invoices were sent to the consumers address obtained at the time of service in 2020.

The account later transferred to collection agency ********************************* and the consumer can request a copy of the medical records at ***************************************** for further information.

At 01/16/2025 I made a mistake and double payed American Medical Response for $517.66 (bank confirmation number is I15L6BLV9W). And I called AMR for that, they said they will do the investigation and reply to me. At Feb 7th I received a call from AMR told me that they have issued a refund check sent out on Feb 3d. But I did not receive it ever. At Feb 24th when I called AMR again, they told me the account is marked as refund success which is a lie since I never receive the check.

This complaint stems from emergency transport services from July 2023. My son was in a psychiatric facility when I was contacted by the facility and told he needed emergency transport to a nearby hospital for x-rays which I needed to approve, so I approved. Later find out an out-of-network provider was used for transport, and they are billing me for the difference that Cigna did not cover. I was not given an option what provider would be used and was not told the provider would be out-of-network. I contacted Cigna, Physicians Transport Services, and the collection agency the bills have been sent to during this process, several times trying to resolve this issue. I have confirmed with Cigna these bills have been paid. Documents are attached: Online chat conversations ensuring me the bill will be paid, voicemail confirming bill is paid, explanation of benefits explaining bill(s) have been paid. Despite all this I am still getting harassing text messages from Physician Transport Services stating my bill is past due and threatening collection agencies. Just received another paper bill in the mail from Physicians Transport Services with another balance due for services. I reside in the state of ******** where state law, since January 1, 2021, prohibits balance billing for emergency services from an out-of-network provider. That document is also attached. At what point should I investigate my legal options for resolution? Please help me resolve this situation.

Our office has thoroughly researched the consumers concerns regarding the No Surprises Act (NSA). The *** deals specifically with out-of-network providers, facilities,and air ambulance services.

Beginning in Oct. 2024, we began getting bills for the ambulance from American Medical Response. I logged into their website to provide our insurance information, but they have failed to submit a claim to the insurance. After getting another bill, the website showed no insurance information on the account, but when I attempted to provide it again, it claimed the info matched previously provided information. After continuing to get bills, I called the contact number and gave the insurance information over the phone. I still got billed without an attempt to submit a claim. My most recent phone call was on Jan. 20th where I was told the claim was sent to the wrong claims address. I confirmed the correct address and after being told a claim would be sent, I received another bill in the mail as well as emails stating I have an outstanding balance. Still, no claim has been made to insurance. I refuse to make any payments until I see a claim from my insurance as I believe they will pay part of the bill if not the full amount.

In March 2024 I required transport from our emergency room to another hospital for services not available at our facility. AMR has a monopoly in our area for ground transport. They negotiated with my insurance until October, and finally sent me a bill for nearly half of the $2408.91 bill ($1035.94). We did notify AMR we intended to appeal with our insurance (because our deductible for the year was met). We finally received the appeal back on January 3, 2025 denying our appeal because our insurance already paid the maximum allowed for ambulance transport. AMR simply passes on all remaining charges to patients. In the interim, AMR had sent us to ************** the process of investigating this, I learned that AMR also billed A0427 CPT code which is their highest level of care for "advanced life support" during a transport, yet I required no medical interventions of any sort, not even lights and sirens.AMR is demonstrating predatory business practices by passing on additional fees for services to consumers/patients in an area where there is no competition. Furthermore, they are passing on charges that are inflated through billing that I believe constitutes insurance fraud by charging for services they did not provide. In fact, my next contact will be to my state insurance commissioner.

Better Business Bureau:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
However, I have already paid in full the amount that was sent the collection agency, so I am not sure how they will correct this now.
Furthermore, I did request my records weeks ago from the site provided, and AMR has yet to send them.

Sincerely,
