Good observation Gonefishing. The clash of the corporate cultures will be something to see. Heck, forget the popcorn. It's time for peanuts and beer!

Welcome to the jungle, Pro. This is going to be nothing like you've ever seen. PRN crews... break out your wallets for those union dues. This one is going to be fun to watch!

All Town was permitted to submit last minute information at the hearing indicating that ownership changes were made, along with other responses to the EMS Agency's summary. They were represented by 2 attorneys as well. The EMS Agency staff and counsel appeared to be poorly prepared and...

Good, professional way to start. Good luck!

Emergency Ambulance will more than likely keep their areas as well. Westmed/McCormick will be the sleeper. Good team and plenty of 911 experience.

Appeal Officer may not, but CMS requires providers to have all proper licenses for payment from Medicare. That'll be the next angle: 10.1.1 - The Vehicle (Rev. 1, 10-01-03) B3-2120.1.A, A3-3114.A, HO-236.1.A Any vehicle used as an ambulance must be designed and equipped to respond to...

Other than their 56 transports in December without proper licenses, in addition to numerous transports of patients that should have had 9-1-1 paramedic intervention. The lack of qualified management was examined as well.

Absolutely the truth. Stay away.

An i-Pad and a nasty union campaign. I'd stay an arm's length from these folks. No bueno.:excl:

From The Green Mile: "Deadman walking, there's a deadman walking." I'd bet they don't have 30 days. We've sceneitall before. Once the cycle starts, it's almost impossible to stop it and the employees will soon be scrambling. A company can work crews like a dog, but NEVER mess with...

I'd imagine that their reserves would be shot (weathering the storm) after being shut down.

I agree, but these guys said it's been happening for weeks. I guess the whole story becomes evident if they fold. Heard anything from MedLife crews? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ cur·mudg·eon kərˈməjən...

Bumped into a crew from MedLife today. Sounds like life is getting tough there. Paychecks handed out on Friday (at 5pm) bounced, along with others today. Anybody have the scoop? If you're looking, you may want to take a pass on this one.:sad:

What are shenanigans?
