FYI - as a former Ambullette and Ambulance driver, an abmbulette is used to transport patients to and from clinics, especially patients in wheelchairs.

They aren’t dressed up to look like ambulances, they are ambulettes and are licensed and say “Ambulette” on them.

I’m sure all you say is true and I’m sure you did your job the very best way you know how. I’m just pointing out that in the north bronx this was how the medicaid payment option was abused. Most of those folks could have gotten to the clinic by means of a $15 cab ride but instead took a govt. paid $200 ambulette ride. And of course the 100’s of ambulettes circling the hospital waiting on fares, was a predictable consequence of the bad policy.
