After car crash, Illinois woman's ambulance bill was 3 times higher than siblings' despite identical services

Last September, Peggy Dula was driving with her brother and sister when their car collided with a pickup truck. The Illinois resident, who recalled the crash and its aftermath on "CBS Mornings," said that she and her siblings were each transported separately from the site of the accident to the same nearby hospital. Dula was shocked when they received three very different bills — for identical ambulance rides.

Dula's injury, a bruised sternum, was the least severe among the siblings. 

"And my ambulance bill was $3,606, which I thought was really high," she said. "I couldn't even get anyone to offer an explanation as to the different pricing."
