In September of 2015 I had occasion to call 911 to request an ambulance. I was experiencing nausea, cold sweats, and extreme shortness of breath. After driving approx 9
miles out of the way they delivered me to the ER at Presbyterian. On triage it was noted that my Oxygen saturation was 79! I have coronary artery disease as well as copd and Polycythemia vera. I called for an ambulance because I felt I could be having a heart attack
I received a bill for their service for over 900 dollars! My insurance has denied payment stating that diagnosis code used was for.
nospecific problem and that my oxygen saturation level was 98 percent on room air
which is totally incorrect.

I might add that for $900 I could have flown round trip to South America.
