El Cerrito residents: As of 2023, if you call an ambulance and ask to be taken to ANY other hospital except Alta Bates in Berkeley or Richmond Kaiser, you will be refused. El Cerrito ambulances will NO LONGER bring you to the County hospital in Martinez or John Muir in Walnut Creek, even though it's in our County! Even if your health insurance ONLY covers John Muir, the ambulance staff does not care. And they will CHARGE YOU JUST FOR CALLING, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE. Even if no blood pressure, no nothing, you will receive a bill for $550 and change. How come they don't charge old people for getting them off the floor, but charge a sick person for walking into your bedroom? Plus they treat you like some kind of criminal. And they love making inappropriate comments to women. If you're on Medicare, remember Medicare WILL NOT pay for an ambulance unless you're taken to the hospital. So, I guess the EC Fire Department wants to make their money and if you don't go to the hospital they know Medicare won't pay so they charge you, a sick and disabled person. I wonder how much more it would have been if I had let them force me into an EKG, even though my problem had nothing to do with the heart? Up-selling at its finest. Shame on the Fire Dept administrators! Praise for the ACTUAL firefighters risking their lives.

How come they don't charge old people for getting them off the floor, but charge a younger disabled (paralyzed limb) person for walking into your bedroom? Plus they treat you like some kind of criminal. And they love making inappropriate comments to women. Questionable billing practices: they sent me only one bill. I called the billing department and explained I was charged even though no services were performed. The billing lady was shocked and I assumed she took care of it. Then, A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I get a bill from a collections agency. No second bill or warning or anything. Other Yelpers are reporting the same thing.
