[quote name='WAGONMAN' post='120907' date='Jun 20 2007, 10:59 ']Problem is that in Baltimore, as is the problem in many old worn out cities, those using the vast majority of the EMS service are not able to pay out of pocket nor do they have insurance. Also in Baltimore as in most urban areas , the majority of the calls do not, in all honesty, require E-M-S. They are taxi runs.[/quote]
Just like here in Boston...........but we collect on indigent/uninsured patients, as every state has a free care pool to deal with these situations
Actually, Massachusetts just passed a law that all residents MUST have health insurance, which has resulted in low cost alternatives being made available. Don't know how this is going to affect EMS, but if it works, it could be a model system.
