There have been some new laws about credit scores and medical debt, but before these laws, everyone was on health issue away from a lifetime sentence of poor credit here. And even these new laws are a grey area of helpfulness.

That can’t be real. The ambulance would pay itself off only after 40 or so rides which can happen in 1-2 weeks.

It looks like there was a new law passed in 2022 i wasn’t aware of but billers have found loopholes to bill after the fact for larger amounts.
I’ve taken an ambulance and after whatever insurance covered my bill was over 5k. A few years ago, my sister had a fall outside and was unconscious and an ambulance was called. She had a bill for close to 10k.
There are a lot of private ambulance companies that charge different rates and different hospitals have different rates so a lot of the time it depends on who picks you up.
