Business ProfileforStewart's Ambulance Service,LLC

Living in Somersworth NH, Stewart Ambulance is the only game in town. The city does not have its own paramedics as some communities do. My husband called 911 as it appeared I may have been having a heart attack. I was transported to the ER. However, the bill I received was just over $4,000. There wasn’t any critical care that was given aside from blood pressure, oxygen, monitoring. This charge is exorbitant!!! When I called the billing department to request an itemization of the charges, I was told that is just their rate!!! Regardless if there is any insurance coverage how can this happen? This is purely price gouging because there is no competition. I will be sending communication to the City of Somersworth, NH state rep, as well as US state rep and Senators.

Again!!! This isn’t about insurance. This is 1/2 of the equation. The dispute here is about price gouging!!! Only to have them inform me that there was a billing error. Very convenient. Even with the billing adjustment the cost is still astronomical. Doesn’t matter if they under contract with the City if they can charge what they want

Stewart's is contracted with the City of Somerworth, NH. Patient's insurance was billed however, the insurance did not pay any of the invoice and was applied to the deductible. Notes in the system 1/19/2024 states the patient was going to call the insurance company to appeal. No updates, normally it takes 45 days to receive decision from insurance company. Stewart's does offer discounts once the insurance has sent the EOB with final decision.
