------------ No, these are your own personal cars. You are not acting as an EMT at the time or an ambulance. We use EMT's as they are the only one's hospitals are ok with being drivers and making sure the patients get home ok, outside of friends/family. Hospitals won't let day surgery patients...

No, this is more like ride sharing programs (ie L-y-f-t, Side-car). This would be a "self-pay" cash/cc business. And yes all the drivers are vetted and validated. And yes we only target cities which all the ride sharing services are permitted. My company has received requests from several...

What city is that?

Does anyone have list of cities that have unregulated EMS? What I mean by unregulated is, in Houston, I fall ill I can call a private EMS company directly to pick me up. Besides Houston, San Antonio and parts of DFW do not require citizens to call 911 for emergencies. Austin on the other...
