请各位国人“谨慎”使用救护车，MP 办公室说这是“POLICY ISSUE”。

[yqyq]

由於 本人两岁半的小孩凌晨独自起来，将眼角撞在床棱上，眼睛当时肿大变青。由於小孩疼得紧闭眼睛，所以当时无法判断是眼内出血还是眼角。本人当时因公外出，太太只好叫救护车， 当时连救护车随车人员也认为要送。 现在我们收到账单说，到医院后，医生认为是“NO ESSENTIAL“ 所以我们要付240 CAN$。他们不是以事发时的情况为准！经过与CHEO 和MP 办公室的联系，最后被告知这是”POLICY ISSUE“钱我们还得付！有不少类似CASES。气愤之余，也写出来，希望同胞别再受同样的气。

谢谢你的信息。

问一下，CHEO和MP是不是认为，这样的case，患者应该自己去医院?

They could not say you should take a TAXI

for the first question:
I asked the same question to them, no one took this dare. and no one told us we should not call the ambulance, they just told you this is the doctor's words! But when the thing happened, where was the doctor!

for the second:
I think you should not take this risk to call a taxi instead of ambulance, since if you are in a REAL emergency case, you do need some special care under the way to the hospital.

I was in CHEO emergency room with my friend's kid long time ago, also a very bad experience. Maybe the only thing you can do is: pray not to go to any hospital.

应该为你高兴, 因为没有达到他们的使用要求!

到了事儿上，做父母的要命都能给，只要不耽误孩子看病。如果有紧急情况，该叫急救还是要叫。

孩子没有大碍最重要，再看看自己公司的医疗保险是否报销吧。

他们说的“NO ESSENTIAL“ 是什么意思？ But every time you use the ambulance , you have to pay for it. Minimum is $50 or more. It depends.

This is a kind of "user fee", I guess. I'd have no problem with that as long as it stands as a policy.

Remember, we have to pay for police and fire department services for fault alarms.

 

[xl2020.2000]

do you have OHIP? it should cover most of it and leave you a bill of $45 ... I have used a a few times

 

[xl2020.2000]

and OHIP only covers the EMERGENCY calls ...

 

[lilidoo]

我到认为付了好,孩子没事是福,,如果是"ESSENTIAL",不用付,更糟.

 

[darkforce]

我也付钱了，好象也是２００多啊～～

 

[闲得慌]

This is a good policy.

 

[bubbleface]

good to know! Thanks!

注意：OHIP，医院，和救护是三个不同的机构

救护车拉人到医院，不管什么情况，医院都要付给救护一笔钱

如果病人情况达到OHIP支付救护车费用的话，医院向OHIP收钱，当然病人还是要出一部分的，这部分由Employee的附加医疗保险支付

如果病人情况达不到必须使用救护车的程度，医院收不到OHIP的钱，只能让病人自己买单
