So they spoke of uber and their business model. Is that how they're going to run? I'd be curious to know how malpractice insurance works when it comes to independent contractors. Anyone have insight onto that? 72k a year? So working 20 days a month and getting 10 calls a day? That's putting in some serious rushing on calls. I was at one of the busiest ambulance companies and on our busiest day we maybe got seven or eight tops.

Good luck to them if they can pull it off.

It would work based on strategy. If you did a zone per ambulance deal vs system management status which doesn't work in LA due to traffic.

liked the Gerber rigs! They weren't the best color/design, but they stood out against all the other white ambulance with blue stripe companies.

As I've heard, Care bought a bunch of the old Gerber rigs and something with their paint made it so they couldn't be repainted. There's a couple of these old Gerber/Care rigs floating around and I really like their design.

I remember after the company went under I saw one of the Crestlines driving around in Schaefer's colors. They looked kinda funky (I guess just different because of all the rounded corners vs square box) but I actually kinda liked them...I'd take one of those Crestlines over a Sprinter van lol (though a Sprinter mod wouldn't be too bad I bet....though I'm still a firm believer that with the amount of stuff we put on these chassis a truck chassis designed to haul loads is a lot more sense than a van)

has anyone heard of a new company coming into LA County buying up a bunch of small companies? the company is called "Ambulnz" and all I have read is that they bought Impulse, but i have heard from others that they also bought Aegis ambulance and Ameripride ambulance. They also advertise that their EMTs can make up to 72k a year.

Everyone at Ambulnz is excited about the growing buzz around our company and we welcome all input from the community of EMTs represented on this blog.

Now that we have received final regulatory approval to officially operate as Ambulnz across Los Angeles, we will be communicating about our official launch and growth plans shortly.

What we can share now is that Ambulnz is being built for the EMT by EMTs, with a business model that creates a career path and opportunities for dedicated and hard-working EMTs. This includes annual compensation of up to $72,000 for the most motivated candidates.

The acquisition and integration of AmeriPride, Impulse and Aegis ambulance services to a unified Ambulnz brand is a significant step toward achieving our vision of transforming medical transportation. We chose to start with these three operations because of their strategic locations across Los Angeles and their proven EMTs.

Some of you have seen our new rigs and updated stations – and many more improvements and innovations are on the way. We will communicate all of them on this and other social media as part of our official launch as one Ambulnz.

In the meantime, we will continue to expand and improve our operations to achieve our vision as a provider of excellent patient care and the ultimate destination for the industry’s best EMTs.
 
Sprinter mods suck lol

I heard that the EMT's will have to lease the ambulance from the complany per day and will be paid a fraction of the total amount of the bill.

Yea... that's like major illegal. EMTs - STAY AWAY FROM LEASING AN AMBULANCE FOR HIRE FROM ANYONE. When you lease an ambulance for hire, YOU become the business owner. While that might sound tasty, YOU are the one who has to have a Medicare billing number, because YOU are the operator of the ambulance. Remember, you are an adult signing a lease agreement. So just like your apartment or car, you are the one responsible for everything that happens, not the leasing company - Ambulanz.

So when it comes time to collect for your services and Ambulanz sends off a bill based on your work, It's illegal. They didn't provide the services - you, as the lessor, did. And because you don't have a Medicare or Medi-Cal provider number, you are now fraudulently sending claims to the federal government or state, asking for thousands of dollars in reimbursement. Ambulanz is involved too, because they are fraudulently allowing you to use their Medicare / Medi-Cal provider numbers.

So if you drop a patient, wreck out, or generally f**k up, it's your *** that's gonna get cut loose. They you'll have some real fun trying to 'splain yourself to the crew cuts wearing blue windbreakers.

Can someone who actually works there confirm this? Otherwise it's just another rumor about this company that isn't substantiated yet.

So I work for Ambulnz. None of this is true. All EMT's will continue to be paid as employees receiving a W-2 and benefts. What is true, is that Ambulnz is hard at work trying to create an environment where those who hustle and work hard will have the opportunity to earn serious money. And those are the facts
 
What's your position with the company? A field EMT that is NOT associated with management?

Why don't you further explain how their system works, & how much you are making?Considering that is a main point being posted about in this forum I think its appropriate.

From what I heard from a medic at one of the umbrella companies, they tried the system of paying per call etc and it failed. It was a test. The emt I know at another umbrella company of theirs is NOT getting paid any where near what they claim. Again yes, the call program exist, it was a trial program and I heard it failed. Either way successful or not kudos for trying something new.

As far as i know and someone here please correct me, i don't believe that Ambulnz owners are Armenian nor are they associated with any mob. It's just that their claim are pretty ridiculous when company like Bower's can't even make it in this market and now is going out of business.
