Hi
I'm curious about the system.
In the following circumstance....what will happen?
1/car accident occurs
2/ambulance called, treats and takes occupants (foreign or local) to a hospital
Questions
Who decides what hospital the injured will be taken too?
How does the ambulance know if the injured occupants; will or can pay for the already provided ambulance service?
I am assuming the ambulance service is private and will deliver patients to the closest most suitable hospital.
A hospital the ambulance may or may not be affiliated with.
Still my question remains; who pays the ambulance?
Does the ambulance bill the hospital and the hospital in turn then bills any insurer.
