People Are Using Ubers Instead Of Ambulances
January 16, 2018 in Daily Bulletin
Brad Jones wrote about an unexpected healthcare cost reduction method:
- Getting into an ambulance can cost patients over $1,000 in the US.
- A study found that in cities where ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft are available, there is a 7% reduction in the number of people who travel in ambulances.
- There are dangers. A patient might call an Uber to the nearest hospital – only to find that hospital doesn’t have the right kinds of specialists, wasting what could be crucial time as the patient is moved to another hospital.
- But as long as patients are using them for non-critical emergencies it should reduce the demand for ambulance services, improving overall response times.
- This should also help reduce the overall cost of healthcare in the United States – which on a per capita basis is the highest in the world.

Nice observation you share. Yes this is all about our house keeping budget.
But this should be noticed that a patient condition is much more important rather than any other thing.
