UPDATE on Paramedics Plus billing practices

Early in January I told you the story of Paramedics Plus trying to send a friend of mine to collections for a bill he just received in the mail. Well the story gets more interesting.

According to his insurance company, he should NOT have paid the bill. They explained to him that they were still in negotiations with PP because they intended to cover the ambulance call. In fact they said that it was out of line for PP to threaten him with collections when it was clear that the insurance company may pay the bill.

He is waiting for reimbursement and for any action taken against PP. You wonder how often PP has been pulling this trick since they have arrived in Sioux Falls?
