An Expensive Ride Home

On September 8th, 2010 McCormick Ambulance Service picked me up from a business with my electric wheelchair, and transported me to the hospital. Later that night when I was released from the hospital.  I was able to go to my  residents in a taxi with my electric wheelchair. Then on October 2nd, 2010 McCormick Ambulance Service picked me up from my
residence, but would not allow me to bring either my cane or my manual wheelchair to the hospital with me. Later that night when I was released from the hospital, I was not able to return to my residence because I did not have my cane or my manual wheelchair with me. The hospital had to call Gerber Ambulance Service to transport me back to my residence. The bill that I received from Gerber Ambulance Service, was in the amount of $1,054.25. I submitted the bill to Medicare and my medical insurance for payment. MAXIMUS has explained to me that because it was not a non-emergency ambulance transport back to my  residence, Medicare and my medical insurance does not have to pay the bill that I received from Gerber Ambulance Service.
