Jagdish Whitten was hit by a car in San Francisco when he crossed a busy street.
After a short ambulance ride, doctors checked him out, told him he had already received appropriate treatment.
Whitten said doctors treated him for a mild concussion, a broken toe, and bruises.
He received a nearly $13,000 bill months after his short transfer ride.
Bill of the Month is a crowdsourced investigation by KFF Health News and The Washington Post’s Well+Being that dissects and explains medical bills.
For patients in need of an ambulance in an emergency, there are few protections and usually few options.
As of 2022 , federal law protects patients from receiving some surprise bills, especially for emergency services.
