Many nursing homes would simply call the ambulance dispatch center directly, and say "we need a medic for this". I've done head bleeds, COPD/CHF, plenty of unresponsive's and lots of codes out of the nursing home as a private medic, while a 911 system truck sits across the street.
We called them "private emergencies", They were charted and billed just like a regular 911 call. Went through the same QI process. And, most of our medics were fire guys that were working per diem to make some extra cash on the ALS IFT truck
