If someone calls an ambulance and you’re unconscious they will take you the hospital for treatment. You will be responsible for the bill. Including the thousands of dollars for the ambulance ride.
And no, even though you were unconscious and not able to consent to treatment willingly you will still be responsible for the bill. There are ways of dealing with it, but one accident is all it takes for a ruined credit score for some people. It is as fucked up as it sounds.
There are ways of waiving bills, getting financial assistance etc but it’s a total nightmare dealing with hospital billing departments
Unless you are out for a very brief period of time, being unconscious is a seriously bad sign. Like brain hemorrhaging which left untreated will kill you.
Medical bills should not impact credit score in the US until its been over a year. This being the case, if someone’s uninsured it can be best to wait for collectors to call and then haggle to pay it off at a fraction of the initial cost. Pretty demented this is basically a pro tip for approaching the repercussions of receiving life saving care…
It shouldn’t but sometimes they’ll do it anyway unfortunately. Same here as well, Medicaid is a joke to deal with. There’s also the fun part that they’ll call family members post death if your family member was on hospice and actually sometimes try to seize their house

If I’m unconscious indoors in a safe place then leave me alone I’ll wake up eventually
And if you don’t, then the problem has still resolved itself!
Insurance companies hate this one simple trick!

You hope.
With the looming medical debt, I’d actually hope not.
