Friend hurt? Wanna ride in the ambulance or chopper in support of him?
Expect to be billed as a patient being treated. $550 abouts in the city of Pheonix, AZ for a standard ambulance. The cost will be more if its an ICU ambulance or chopper. It doesn’t matter if its your kid that is riding either.
Larry Williams at work is dealing with this problem right now. Escalating to a commissioner or something like that. His daughter rode with her car accident victim friend, named Linda, and he got a $537 bill and a collections referral threat. She was compeletly ignorant of any intention to bill also. They reversed the bill but he had to go through some phone red-tape with much assertiveness to achieve that.
So I would expect the same if your wife or your friend or your kid gets hurt any you want to ride along in the ambulance, at least in Phoenix AZ.
