Ridiculous amount for a 20 minute non-emergency transport to the ER. I thought our taxes paid for County Fire Dept expenses like this? They should take what insurance paid and not charge the patient. Hopefully I won't have to be calling 911 in the future.

Hospital charges include 3 nights in hospital. Since I came to the hospital on a weekend there are ER charges as well as charges from the doctor on call from my surgeon's practice. I am covered by Medicare as my primary and HOP of Pennsylvania PSERS as my supplemental. I have 5 pages of explanation but it seems only one attached.
