BE AWARE

From our colleagues in VT and NY, we are hearing reports of a person appearing at fire/EMS agencies and identifying himself as working with Medicare on fraud investigation. In some cases, he is reported to show a list of services he has already visited, but when asked for ID, the man says that he is not permitted to carry even a business card when doing investigations. He then attempts to conduct crew interviews and take pictures of the ambulance base, vehicles, and personnel. If you encounter such an individual, we recommend that you not permit him interior access and that you notify law enforcement authorities and Maine EMS.
