I did already go work in a different field and I do make substantially better wages with no experience and I have Frindge benefits. And that's why I was wondering what is so different about this field that even at entry level requires specialized training. I'm a Paramedic still part time only, I...
Not caring is one thing, and not getting the info is another. I maintain 100% compliance on my PCRs but since I don't care I don't go out of my way to get it... And most importantly patient care comes first, in fact that's what they use to preach back in EMT and Paramedic school. As far as me...
No one is saying I should be a coder? Then why do people (inexperienced people) keep insisting I have to go above and beyond to ascertain billing info? I clearly posted I would not go beyond basic demographic data and signatures anything beyond that is just not my god damn job, Besides I don't...
They make about $78 an hour when you include the benefits package.Journeyman wage Hourly is $44 Medical, dental, Vision, Pension. Check UA250 in LA county.
In fact your right...I will go above and beyond. I will take a medical billing and coding class just to insure my ambulance company collects every possible penny owed to them, and then maybe I could get my 25 cent raise I deserve. And I'll go back to school because I'm tired of being an LA...
Yeah thanks for the Auto correct...my text to speech isn't very good. You attempt to insult me? Why? the truth hurts and you know it. It just seems that some how you are offended or have taken it personal, you want to call me a troll? your probably some brown noser EMT that thinks being a tampon...
I've been in EMS for a long time I've worked for awesome companies outside of LA and really bad ones in LA... I love being a Paramedic. After The Marines I took an EMT class and I fell in love with the work but I never imagined it had such a dark side and it was such a business like everything...
Since AMR got downsized here in LA there are sooo many companies that have popped up over night..just look at the county web site. 8 calls is actually low balling that's only 4 dialysis patients and besides if they use O2 meds or any additional treatments they charge they even charge for night...
Well then why do they do it? If its not for the money? You think they do it because their moral compass points them to help fellow man? No man...you better believe their making money... Greed is what drives most of them indicative of how they nickel and dime their employees. Do you realize how...
For bringing Medi-Cal patients to a hospital, the state pays ambulance providers about $118 plus $3 per mile, or about one-quarter of the cost of the ambulance trip. In comparison, the federal government pays ambulance providers about $420 plus $6.80 per mile -- or about 75% of the cost of the...
Like what Mr Jones? 100% compliance on your billing info? No! You wrong. That won't improve your working conditions or wages. Its politics and greed you can't fix that. Even the best employees aren't immune to unjust termination. Brown nosing or being a poster child for your company won't spare...
Free work? Your crazy! I know lots of plumbers commercial and industrial they make $44 an hour plus frindge benefits and a pension all union employees Too
Total package is $78 an hour. Last thing they do is bill...the Contractors due that and they have professional billers.the funny thing none...
Right, I do if my patients condition permits I get a signature and demographics...but that's not my priority. Getting the patient to the hospital safely is...as far as me being gone guess what I could be gone for any little thing. So I'm not worried about job security because there isn't...
Who the hell turned this into a Budget, balance sheet, profit margin blah blah discussion.... I understand the the basic concept of budgeting and, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Once again I don't give a rats A** if they bill or not even if it means I would possibly be laid off. I...
I strongly disagree that unions just take money from workers with nothing in return...Unions are there to protect workers from not just illegal and unfair treatment but also guarantee constant raises and descent pay...benefits etc. Like u said money doesn't grow on trees there is costs...
