Scam company. Do not use. They charge $39 per mile or over $2400 for essentially a cab ride with no services for a 10 mile trip from Lagrange Hospital to Rush. Beware read more

This is about "People"...in this case medical transporters. I was very sick last night and had no way of getting home after my visit at Sherman Hospital. About midnight I was picked by Superior Transporters. I just want to say that the two young men in my charge we're extremely polite. Superior Thank you! read more

Superior over charges (more than 10K for a 8 minute drive between Evanston and Glenview Hospitals) without any other services. They are out-of-network for all major health insurances like Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna. The patient is billed although the hospital made the arrangements. They turn the case over to an aggressive collection agency even though most of the unauthorized charges have been paid. DON'T GET iNTO A SUPERIOR AMBULANCE. IT WILL PUT YOU IN DEBT. read more

Complete scam. $2700 to transport from ER to Hospital about 10 miles away. STAY AWAY!!!! I did not have a say in any of this just that i have to pay a bill that i was not informed about nor the amount. read more

Thanks Sam and Josule for prompt and excellent transport to Swedish Covenant from Evanston.Very appreciative.

Abuse of power!! Stuck in the 5pm traffic one of the ambulances were honking at the first millisecond of a green light, both the driver and the passenger were on their phones the entire time AND they didn't even have a patient on board. At the end, all that reckless driving and annoying honks was so they could go into a dunkin parking lot. its already hot and humid during traffic hour, don't make it worse because you really need an iced coffee. read more

They make their employees come in and work when they are clearly ill and sick. My mom is immune compromised and when she was picked up, one of the employees was coughing so much I was terrified! I noticed they didn't look too good, and I overheard them talking and saying they would get a "point" on their record if they took a sick day. What?! They were the most compassionate and kind people who helped my mom and I, and I'm watching as they are forced to either get some sort of punishment (demerit) and call off sick, or come into work, suffer, and potentially (most definitely) spread it to anyone they transport. I felt so bad for them. I will never recommend this company to anyone who needs medical attention. I find it deplorable how they run their system. You should treat your employees with respect and not expect them to know when they are going to get sick. I never know when my mom is goin to have another episode or day of illness. Shame read more

They try to bill you before insurance negotiated price. Superior is a bunch of con artists and scammers

Called 3x during business hours this week to enquire about medical transportation. Nobody picks up the phone, no way to leave a voicemail. Awful customer service. read more

Paramedics showed up vaping, couldn't tell a toe from an ass. I've seen mall cops with more medical training.

Would give zero stars if I could. Use anybody but them. Nobody answers the Phone and when they do they are rude and unhelpful. Horrible Customer Service, Horrible Accounting Dept. Horrible, horrible, horrible. read more

During my 25 yea as an ER social worker, Superior was our contract provider for the Level 1 Trauma Center where I worked. I was always impressed by the professionalism of the Paramedics and ENT staff as well as the RN they used for specialized transport. I had the sense that they were one step up from the other ambulance services that brought patients to the ER or did facility to facility transfers. read more

Most garbage Ambulance ever I got sent to collection cause my insurance didnt cover it was only 8 min ride from one hospital to another 1600 for what ? Transport? I could have drove myself there.Biggest scam!!! read more

Under no circumstances should you let a Superior Ambulance transport you. They will bill your insurance, your insurance will most likely claim they are "out of network" and then you'll be stuck with a huge bill. My toddler needed to be transferred from Palos Hospital after an ER admittance for vomiting and dehydration. Palos did not have a pediatric unit; hence, the transfer was required. The trip was 6.9 miles and less than 20 minutes, but Superior billed me for 8 miles. The total cost of the ambulance trip was $6,600. My insurance would not pay for the EKG, the pulse oximeter, or the mileage, leaving me with a bill for almost $1,000. I did not CHOOSE Superior Ambulance and was told by Palos Hospital that we had to do an ambulance transfer, as my daughter had an IV in. When I called Superior, they were unwilling to help or assist me in any way. Never mind that there are No Suprise Laws in Illinois to protect people from this type of predatory behavior, you'll still get stuck with a bill. I've already contacted the BBB, but thought I should leave a review here, too. read more

If I could give superior zero stars I would. they negotiated a price with my insurance, I have proof of everything, then went after me for the money they didn't negotiate for. they then turned around and said they never received payment except my Insurance shows they received payment on July 15, 2025. Theyre frauds and the people working customer service are rude and they belittle you.. read more

We were billed $1300 after a fender bender for a paramedic to stand five feet from our daughter to say that "if she acts weird, take her to ER", I was shocked to receive this bill and for this amount for a 60 second 'assessment'. Tried to file an insurance claim, and the customer service rep offered me a slightly lower price pay today bc of insurance takes too long it will go to collections. I asked how they can do that bc I imagine they work with insurance all of the time. He said bc they are a private entity, they can do this... I'm shocked that a business this predatory and unethical is still operating. File a formal complaint to your municipality!!! They are responsible for the contracts and with enough complaints they will not renew. read more

Adam and Jacob were exceptional. We had to transport my sister from one hospital to another. They were very professional . They made a bad situation better . I had to follow them to the hospital. They were very courteous and made sure I was behind them the whole time . They really care about their patients and family. In today's society that is very rare . Thank you read more

BEWARE- fraudulent billing practices. We were in the ER with our daughter and the doctors wanted her transferred to a children's hospital. They advised us to take medical transport and called the ambulance company. Superior ambulance company bills at rates significantly higher than their competitors, resulting in THOUSANDS of dollars in excess charges. Customer service's rationale for the excessive billing is that they are a private company, so basically they do it because they can get away with it. Or they're trying to at least- there have been numerous complaints filed against them to the Better Business Bureau, and there will soon be another. Avoid Superior Ambulance if at all possible. It's sickening that a company in the business of 'helping people' is attempting to fraudulently take advantage of people during such a vulnerable time. read more

On June 23rd I had a stroke and went to Mercy. They sent me to Alexian Brothers and the Superior ambulance company was very kind in taking me, but the charges they made me are outrageous. They charge me $8,345 and I cannot pay that amount. I have already called them to ask them to reduce the amount since I cannot pay the bill with what I earn at work. My wife is also sick with cancer and we have many expenses with the rent and the bills on the house. read more

If I could give zero stars for the "customer service" phone agents I would. Kim is a complete bully and impossible to speak to. She does nothing but rudely talk over you with a raised voice. I simply asked "Maam, can you please not speak over me" and she threatened me and hung up. read more

The service was fine, but the billing is ridiculous. They charged over $4200.00 for a 32 mile ride. It takes forever to get someone to answer in billing and when they did, and questioned the charge they basically said too bad. Not sure how this kind of charges are allowed, but be aware they will not tell you the amount that will be charged upfront. read more

Charged a crazy amount and the customer reps are wildly rude and unhelpful. There should be a class action lawsuit against them. As anyone can see from the many 1 star reviews, they need to be held accountable for fraudulent billing practices, elder abuse, and violating the "no surprise bill" law. read more

Rude!! Rough putting on the electrodes and then jerked them off after reading...I regret I did not jump out of the ambulance Worst service I ever experienced...I need to warn Midwest Express Clinic to never call them again for service...they didn't have any good things to say about them anyway...just mean jerks!! Anyway, I am thankful I will be ok , diagnosed with Covid... read more

If I could leave zero stars I would . Medicare was filthy, driver had all his garbage in car 2 feet from me. Promised 6:15, came st 6:45. Wheelchair was duck taped in the back and one of the legs. The RN's st the hospital gave me a pillow to sit on , a pillow I'd like hold to them , as the chair looked so bad . The lift didn't work properly and he had to climb around me to get it going again. Then he took forever sitting in the van filling out paperwork he said. We get to my home and luckily my husband was able to lift the chair in the last step or i'd still be sitting there. The truck was do old the suspension on it was gone and every bump in the road hurt. NEVER again read more

They charge an exorbitant amount for the service. $7000 for one trip and insurance doesn't cover it because they are a private company

Reserved for medical transport after procedure 2 weeks before procedure in Chicago. From hospital to my house is about a mile. Nurse called them when I arrived to confirm pick up. Time of pickup was 2 hours after I was done. When the time came no one showed up. Nurse called them and had the nerve to tell me two more hours to wait. Furthermore, inconsistencies in finding my reservation or knowing my last name by whom ever picked the phone. Nurse let me go given the circumstances and that by then I was super awake. read more

Like most people who have dealt with Superior, you learn about their shady billing practices. My son needed to be transported to a pediatric hospital for appendicitis surgery. Everything was covered by insurance, but some random $60.00 charge. It was explained to me that my insurance wouldn't cover it. I was told my insurance claim expert that Superior basically told them that they knew our insurance wouldn't cover it which is why they send it to us to be paid for to get a little bit more off the bill which was already over $4,000.00 I'm not sure how a company can take advantage of people like that. I plan to have a conversation with the billing department shortly. read more

Deserving a full Illinois State Attorney investigation for abuse of elderly as well as defrauding them; Superior should be put out of business effective immediately. The staff are very rough in transport, the bills never appear for years & after 3 years my elderly mother is being called & threatened by a collection agency 12-20 times a day. I have repeatedly called the " company" yo try once again to get an accurate accounting only to be told 1) it is in the mail . 2) we just emailed it to you. This is just a sham. I see why Medicare & BC/ BS will not pay for the service. Big question? Why are hospitals still using this company?? read more

Watch out! They will bill your insurance a HUGE amount and then try and get duplicate charges past them!!! I was charged over $2000 to have my son taken .3 miles from one hospital building to another. Insurance covered all by $60. They said it was a duplicate charge they paid for already. Superior IS INCREDIBLY RUDE! I have never been treated like that before! If I called an ambulance and Superior came I would choose to walk to the hospital or just die before I would get in their ambulance. read more

Feel totally ripped off by them. Minor accident, fender-bender. They popped onto the scene. I was later told 911 dispatch sends them out for ANY accident, but 911 administration says that is not the case. There was absolutely no care given, no vitals taken, no one transported to the hospital. After I received a bill for $900, I asked for my medical records (which they also charged me for) and was amazed to see that they had reported some vital signs that they never took and paperwork said I declined help "against medical advice" even though their own report said I appeared injured. No medical advice was offered either way. I have tried speaking to Superior about the inaccuracies in their call report, but Esmeralda refused to answer any questions and Kalisha responded "This is ridiculous" and hung up on me. If I ever need an ambulance, I'll ask a neighbor to drive me before I trust them. read more

Superior transported me from SSM St. Marys in Janesville WI to SSM in Madison WI. That is a distance of 41 miles. I was not critical but did have an IV so they could not let my husband drive me. I was billed $9000.00. Our insurance paid $2700.00 which was their maximum for an out of network provider. We are expected to pay the remaining $6300.00 which we believe is an unreasonable amount. Apparently private ambulance services can charge any amount they want! read more

My father needed transport from Palos Hospital to Lemont. Superior EMS was who answered the call. Two young ladies came to the rescue. They were approachable, kind and concerned for my father's safety and comfort. I had asked them if they could take McCarthy road because it was not as bumpy as Route 83. They were kind enough to do that. When they arrived at my father's destination they transferred him to the bed and he wasn't in complete agony. They made my father feel like he mattered. Hannah S. and Victoria H. were Superior handlers of my 96 year old father. I appreciate them. read more

$3520 ambulance non emergency ride, forced by hospital after their inability to provide care. Sent me from Indiana to Illinois. I asked if it was in network and hospital staff said they were. They would release me even though I'm the waiting area nurses told me to drive my son myself I wish they world of told me why. Community charged $4500 and they charged $3500. Guess who actually provided care to my son?! Loyola overnight stay and cost only $3500! read more

This is the worst ambulance company . They tried charging me $460 more after my insurance paid them $3000 for a ten minute ambulance ride . The billing department said "they disagree" with what my insurance covered . Filed a complaint with the BBB. Everyone needs to file a compliant and put this corrupt business out of business . I feel bad for the employees because the transport guys were really nice . Only a matter of time before this place goes under . read more

8 k for forced 11 mile ride from silver-cross satellite to main hospital. No choice even though wait 2 hours see doc. Cant let me take 15 min ride with friends that bring me to clinic to go to hospital. Say transfer all arranged. Not part of hospital bill so read all the one stars and thats what u have. They talk about 400k base price plus pay plus supplies for ambulance. Maybe 1 million to 2 million? 2 trips a day, which in 24 hrs there are more 7 to 10 million rev per ambulance gross? They charging extra for supplies etc anyway so in reality thats just pass through inflated costs. Math adds up to extreme greed. Billing without responsibility. They suc if u are u and if you are them, its greatest. Where I stand they suc. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE!! I wish I could give them negative reviews. I am not one to write online reviews, but my experience with Superior has been truly awful. My son was transferred after birth to two different local hospitals (they thought he had a heart condition, but he did not). Shortly after, we were hit with a $17,000 bill for his two rides. Keep in mind the hospitals were local - one was 15 minutes away!!! After 9 months of constantly calling to get this resolved, My insurance provider reran the claims to be in network for us since we were given no option and they covered it. We were told by Superior everything was handled and to throw the bill away. All seemed well. Until 2 months ago when a new bill showed up and now they claim we owe them $6k, when Aetna claims to have already paid. I explained all of this to their billing department (they record the calls so this shouldn't be shocking!) and they are telling me I am wrong!?!? This company is disgusting. No compassion for others. I have been trying to resolve this for 13 months and have wasted SO MANY HOURS trying to get it sorted out (precious hours of my small maternity leave; hours of my work day, etc). AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!! read more

Horrible experience with Superior ambulance service! Their EMT's are so unprofessional and rude! Plus a $2000 charge for no treatment and less than a mile ride to the hospital! The town of Dyer should reconsider their choice in ambulance services for their town! read more

it has been over a year and despite my insurance company insisting Superior is a preferred provider and that they have been paid the agreed upon fee, we keep getting bills. They do not respond to either me or Cigna reps. Avoid this company at all cost read more

The drivers were good dudes, but the company tried to get another $460 from me after my heart attack. My insurance picked up the whole bill, but Superior tried to get another $460 out of me. What if people like me didn't question them and just sent in $460...that is not ok. To some people $460 is a large amount of money. Shame on you Superior, you are a scummy company. read more

Superior Ambulance Service (SAS) was my mode of transport several times in '22 (from hospital admissions to acute rehab stays to home). The personnel are sharp, personable professionals who immediately won my trust, & calmed me with their witty conversations. Door-to-door, I was their only focus, their only concern. Should you need transport for yourself or a loved one, make Superior your choice for safe, problem-free travel! read more
