Reply To: Hatzolah Billing Insurance

i’m wondering if this entire discussion is limited to very specific situations. at times hatzalah does not have available resources to transport someone (especially to the hospitasl of their choice) and they bring in one of the private for profit companies to pick up the slack (it happens daily). the for profit company is entitled to make money and if they dont bill the patient, they can bill hatzalah, or, they can write it off as a donation to hatzalah. if they dont, this is an additional expense incurred by hatzalah.
