Who decide if a patient is bed confined and need ambulance transportation?
I assume by the way the question is asked that it references "need" for ambulance transportation in the sense that a medical insurer would define it. That being the case, the insurer themselves sets the standard for what criteria must be met before a patient is deemed to "need" ambulance transportat…ion. As you can imagine, this gets tricky. The concept of "bed confinement" is even trickier - and may or may not necessitate ambulance transportation in and of itself in the eyes of the payor. In most cases in the US, a patient is defined as "bed confined" by medicare standards if they are unable to stand or walk without assistance, unable to sit in a wheelchair without assistance, and unable to leave the bed without assistance. But again, different organizations have different definitions. Generally, a written and signed physician's statement is enough to justify ambulance transportation. However, for certain payors and in certain circumstances, a reason must be given for why a patient must be transported by ambulance as opposed to any other means. This can range from stating that the patient is "bed confined" to explaining, in detail, why the patient must go by ambulance in terms of what services must be provided to the patient during transport (cardiac monitoring, oxygen therapy, or medication administrations being the most common). Again, depending on the situation at hand, this may or may not answer your question. Feel free to ask more! NJM ( Full Answer )

How do you become a hospital patient transporter?
Ok, now to be honest it is not easy to just be selected to even to get a interview, I have heard of Transporters taking applying for like 3 years before being able to get on. If you know someone that is in Health Care it is great to get their help in getting a job at a Hospital. You could also get… your BLS CPR certification, it would help out a lot. To find a class just go to the American Heart Ass. website and it takes a little time to find it but you will find it. Having CPR is a plus and you may get more money. All you need really is a High School Diploma, that is it. It is not to bad of a job, pay is better then working fast food, plus benefits at hospitals are great. You get to see a lot of what happens in a Hospital on a day to day bases. Like a patient is getting a CT done, well I wait to take the patient back to his/hers room. So, I am able to see how the whole process of a CT, and getting to see a lot of the images. If you want to learn a lot you can but if you don't then you don't have to. There is going to be ways to get better jobs in Transport. Most of the time it is based Seniority but, it is nice if you get a chance. From a Transporter you can be come a Dispatcher, or a Courier, both jobs make more money! So, all in all it is not a bad job, it is a easy and can be a rewarding one. I am a Dispatcher, I was lucky to like nights so I was able to become a Dispatcher after only 2 years of working in Transport, no one wants to work night shift. It is a great place to get your foot in the door of any hospital, as well! ( Full Answer )
