You need to know a bit about county vehicle age limit to understand why they have 2 new units. So they have 2006 year, 2008 and 2008 unit. 2006 unit likely received 2 year age limit extension and soon that limit will expired. Meaning they will have no choice to replace it. They might also be...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's not as hard as you might think. They are contracted with multiple brokers, if you have big enough of the area, you can get loaded with calls if you are willing to take any and all calls, especially being companies been closing slowly but surely. It...

They can't do 1099. It will never fly with IRS. In order to do 1099 you must not be controled by employer, told where to go, whom to pick up. You must be using your own tools etc. Basically that will never ever fly. Regarding $30 a call, that might actually drop you below minimum wage(which...

Yes they got their la county certificate but then only one company didn't and that alpha as they got shutdown for fraud. As for als and going code 3,do all town have hospital contract? It almost sounds like you show up at snf and instead of following la county 911 procedure you just go code 3...

Unless i was very desperate in needing body to sit in ambulance, i wouldn't never hire anyone with your driving record. Suggest you look at non ambulance job for few years. 2 year of not having any incident on your record is not enough time.

It's spot on because I own bls company in la county :). The issue is that private insurance companies tend to follow medicare policy on deny of coverage. Basically it's like you will get authorization to dialysis (a leg) but get deny from dialysis(b leg) because it will be ruled they are not...

Sorry should have been much more clear in my reply. Medicare is not wiling to pay for ambulance for dialysis patients. They see it as fraud. Majority of dialysis patient go by bls and no monitoring is needed during transport of any kind. This same patients are likely able to sit in wheelchair as...

PRN does dialysis. I don't see schaefer that much and they lots of units sitting in their Beverly station. Dialysis is slowly going away and soon will not be the main income for most companies.

Yes growing for now but with the way medicare cracking down, 99.9% of current IFT will be out of business in the next 5 years with no illegal activity on ambulance part. Also as far as owners names, rescue one ambulance start in 2009 and owner is ANDREW BOULOS

On this board regular members that been in the industry for a while will tell you to go only with few company’s and that is all. Regarding Americare 1) They had money issue, they were getting notice of termination letter for not paying their insurance on time. They always found a way to pay...

Lets forgot about reimbursement rate and also supply and demand and talk about education. What could emt can possible do more on bls ambulance with more education when it's just ift. That is the main issue which is why higher education is not being required because it will not actually do...

Justice website says promed, are you sure this is pro care ambulance company? http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/ambulance-company-owner-operator-and-managers-found-guilty-medicare-fraud-conspiracy

There is multiple way of evaluating person without it being fraud. Just because someone can sit in wheelchair on the way to dialysis today do not mean they are same way tomorrow. etc. With that being said, IFT for dialysis business is dying slowly.

Her is small issue actually big issue. Medicare do not cover gurney van/wheelchair van. So unless person have secondary insurance that cover wheelchair van, patient is screwed for A leg each time. Good luck finding provider that would be willing to take patient one way for free and only get paid...

What really needs to happen is for medicare to start paying for gurney vans.They can pay half as much and there will be plenty of providers. Otherwise we will have 911 getting all of this calls because grandmother wasn't able to see her doctor and instead now must be admitted to the hospital...

Impulse already have their county license, i am not seeing apa having trouble getting it. APA is a much bigger company compare to impulse.

I don't agree that a lot if it was fraud. Just because someone can walk today do not mean they can walk tomorrow.I had patient that could sit in wheelchair on the way to the dialysis center but couldn't on the way back. Is it fraud if we transported him both way on ambulance? Ambulance are used...

You keep going down the list until you find the one is available/still in business.

Yes and this is probably beginning of the end of IFT as we know today. Basically since 07/8 a lot of ambulance companies been pooping up left and right and medicare been paying out all of those claims without much of hassle.This in the last few years have ended and they are cracking down...

Their parking lot is empty, no ambulance is there. Haven't seen a single unit since Saturday.
