To this day Nov. 6th 2007 , I have not been sent an original bill OR ANY BILL ,from american medical responce, ALSO I HAVE NOT BEEN SENT AN ORIGINAL BILL , OR ANY BILL FROM AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCES COLLECTION CO. BECAUSE THERE IS NO ORIGINAL BILL TO BE SENT. LIKE I SAID I CONTACTED AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCE WHEN I SAW AMR ON MY CREDIT REPORT , I HAD TO GOOGLE AMR TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS . THERES MORE THAN ONE AMBULANCE COMPANY IN WATERBURY , IT'S A SMALL TOWN, THEY COULD HAVE MAILED ME A BILL , BUT THEY DID NOT ,BECAUSE THE FACTS ARE , THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES ,COLLECTING THERE FEE , (GOOGLE IT ).. IF THEY HAD SENT A BILL MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE PAID , THEY SENT IT TO COLLECTION BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY PICKED ME UP, AND WHAT I LOOKED LIKE , AT THE TIME, DRIVERS SURE CAN TALK UP A STORM ABOUT WHO THEY PICK UP, AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE . CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE FACT AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCE OF WATERBURY CONNECTICUT DID NOT BILL ME , AND NEVER BEEN GIVEN TAXI RIDE IN A VAN BEFORE THAT WAS ORDERED BY A CITY EMPLOYEE , HOW WOULD I KNOW I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY ? AND WHERE TO SEND THE MONEY , IF I DID . I WAS NOT BILLED BECAUSE OF WHAT I LOOKED LIKE ,AND THE AREA WHERE I LIVE . IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE , THAN PROVE .....AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCE THAT YOU SENT A BILL ....... AS YOU SAID ,,, YOU SENT MANY BILLS , BUY MY INSURANCE CO. SAYS YOU NEVER FILED A CLAIM . IT WAS 100% COVERED , IF I WAS BILLED . YOU AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCE JUST GET A THRILL OUT OF BEING PISSY ON THE PHONE , AND YOU COLLECTION CO. YOU USE IS ALSO PISSY ,AND DOES NOT HAVE THE FACTS . WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL BILL ? THERE IS NOT ONE , THATS WHY , SOMEONE JUST WANTED A ESY WAY OUT TO CLOSE UP THERE PART OF THERE JOB , SENDING MY BILL I NEVER GOT , WAS THER WAY TO FINISH THERE END OF IT , AND THAN FORGET ABOUT IT , WHILE THEY RUIN MY CREDIT ,AND THINK NOTHING OF IT . HOW VERY SAD OF AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONCE ,AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO WORK THERE.

Here's the deal, you were baker acted. Its required you go to the medical facility by ambulance, furthermore you should have had a pysch eval which i don't think you mentioned. anyways, after your 72 hour baker act is up you go home if they deem you ok to do so. The bill or charge to your name is nothing new, ambulance rides are not free, if you do not wish to give your SSN to AMR that still subjects you to any billing they desire, AMR is a private ambulance company. Its very easy to get any info on you once you have been baker acted. If you feel like your privacy has been violated i would suggest looking into the HIPAA laws and talking to the government, HIPAA is very strict on people's information. Furthermore, being profiled is highly unlikely due to the fact that the ambulance crew has NOTHING to do with the actual billing end of it, their job is to treat you and obtain information, thats all, please don't be paranoid and don't give EMS officals a bad name because you think your being targeted.
