I'm curious about how this works with law and emergency services. Last year, my under-age son was caught drinking at a party under age. Since he was intoxicated, the Sheriff had him transported to a local hospital via ambulance where he received minimal medical services. Now please know that I am certainly grateful that we have laws and medical services to provide medical care to accordingly. It could've been worse and I am lucky it was not. However, I've also paid health insurance my entire life but when I got a bill for over $7,000, I was beyond myself. So my question is, what rights do we have about paying for these types of services when the ambulance transportation and treatment at the hospital was not authorized? Thanks for your help and feedback.
