BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Nelson Ambulance, which provides non-emergency patient transport services for hospitals and medical facilities throughout Fairfield County, is the subject of an investigation by state health officials, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers has learned.
A former supervisor of the company said he has told the FBI that Nelson Ambulance is falsifying bills submitted to Medicaid and Medicare for payments. The ex-employee said the FBI also is investigating the company, which provides services to patients at a number of hospitals in the region, including in Danbury, Bridgeport, Stamford and Greenwich.
In an undated memo from a manager to ambulance crews, obtained by Hearst, a Nelson supervisor told employees that “we are not able to bill some of our medicare and Medicaid patients due to poor documentation.”
