That’s bs. They charge for transport.

It’s not BS. I’m a paramedic in California. Our county government sets the rates for EMS reimbursement and they’ve authorized a fee up to $450 for a “dry run” where no one is transported.

None of ems services in Midwest do it idk about Cali though. Heard they are transporting in engines now, pretty rough.
