Initial contact is one day before they plan on sending the invoice to collections….

My mother was transported by this company back in January 2021. She has severe dementia and is a care facility. Today, June 18th, I received a call that the invoice for the services was going to collections on Monday June 21st. This was the very first I had heard that there was an open invoice. They stated all the invoices had been sent to her care facility - - and could not send me a copy of the invoice for payment - - they expected a payment via credit card with nothing other than their verbal threat of sending the invoice to collections in less than one business day. I fully understand them needing to be paid for services they have rendered - - but to call a family member one day before going to collections is just unethical. At first they said they were a 3rd party processing company and had no control over when the invoice was sent to collections. Later they admitted they are not a 3rd party that they are in fact employees of Apex Paramedics but they still would not delay sending the invoice to collections in less than one business day.
