Unexpectedly a bill just arrived in the mail. It's for Ambulance Services used on 7th March when Ben was transported less than 1km from the accident scene in Quail St to St Helen's District Hospital. The amount due is $765! A phone call to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), who issued the bill, was referred to Ambulance Tasmania who would have referred us to the Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) except for the fact that the bike was registered in Victoria so we were referred instead to the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) where an initial claim was lodged. Ben will not have to pay anything because, eventually, after paperwork is completed and certified, TAC will pay DHHS who will pay Ambulance Tasmania.
