Peggy Dula is as surprised as she is relieved. The 55-year-old St. Charles resident had been fighting a $2,700 ambulance bill for nearly a year. Now, the amount she owes from her September 2021 car wreck appears to be zero.
The initial $3,600 charge for Dula’s ambulance ride was significantly higher than the charges for her two siblings, who were riding in her car at the time and were transported to the same hospital, KHN, NPR, and CBS News reported in spotlighting Dula’s bill this summer as part of a series on medical billing called “Bill of the Month.”
