Balance/surprising billing for emergency ambulance ride

I had two ambulance rides last year, for medical emergencies. Total bill was around $4500. My insurance (UHC) paid around $1300. I then receive bills from the City of X for the remainder ($3200). They mistakenly sent them to the wrong address which is why I'm only dealing with this now.

On my insurance portal I see:

"Member: this service was provided by an out-of-network provider. We paid the provider according to your benefits and data provided by data isight. If you're asked to pay more than the deductible, copay and coinsurance, please call data isight at 877-859-2166 or visit dataisight.Com. They will work with the provider on your behalf. If the provider disagrees with data isight, the provider might bill you for the difference between the amount billed and the amount allowed. We've asked them not to. Please contact us if they do. Provider: please don't bill the patient above the amount of deductible, copay and coinsurance."

I've now contacted UHC and left a message for data isight. UHC has told me I should only have to pay ~$300 for both, rather than $3200. They said they'll get in touch with City of X. Does anyone have any advice for handling this situation? In the meantime I guess I'll do a $5/month payment plan.
