No one showed up to give her a ride. I found out because the doctor called me to make sure she was okay. I spent 30 minutes on hold just to talk to someone, then 15 more on hold to tell me the driver would be there in 10 to 15 minutes. Too late. The appointment was for an hour before this "10 to 15 minute" arrival. I am not impressed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-21947402787794993262013-01-11T13:40:27.705-06:002013-01-11T13:40:27.705-06:00Don't be fooled.

They are very quick to set up their transportation but then forget all about it when the time comes to go. Many times these losers (yes, that's right!)do not have the courtesy to call and cancel because, oh crap! It's Friday and I ain't going no wheres. Better are those who decide that medicaid transportation is a free taxi/ limo service to any where they want to go, like shopping but don't have any friends or family to pick them up. Take into consideration that drivers take the time to drive to a home that has no phone contact only to find "they ain't goin'" The legitimate people GET their ride. The users are put at the bottom of the list and are the first to complain. They are the one's that jeopardize Dialysis and urgent trips. This I know. <br />I drove for a company for nearly 4 years and I will tell you that those companies are out to run you into the ground for less than minimum wage. They will say you are salaried until you need an hour off and then all of a sudden they will deduct an hour's pay from you. Or,you are salaried for a 40 hr work week and run you 60-70 hours with no breaks.Most companies that contract with Logisticare are crooks lining their pockets and screwing their workers. They take on an incredible amount of work load because all they see are the $$$ for their own pockets. I sued my former employer and made sure they went bankrupt. They deserved it. They were making 1-2 mil but paid drivers $300/ wk.yet working them 60+ hrs. They took advantage of the scarcity of job opportunities in the area.

Then there is the cost of the extra medical care when they fail to take people to life-sustaining appointments like dialysis, the higher cost of the emergency care, the pulling of county officials to take care of what wasn't a problem until LogistiCare took over, the costs of the investigation into the neglect by LogistiCare, the lawsuits that will come from all of this...oh, the list does go on. <br /><br />These aren't mistakes. These are examples of putting people's lives in jeopardy.

Why are you...You asked for proof, I gave it to you. Why are you so against saving the state millions of dollars? Logisticare has a set contract with Wisconsin and they employ locals workers. How many other local companies are owned by someone out of state? How many Wisconsin citizens own a business in another state? Are you so gullable to believe that there were no problems with the old system? People were comfortable with it and don't like change. Unfortunately, change was needed. Give it some time before you pass judgement. Did you make any mistakes when you first started a job or business? Probably not as it sounds like you know everything.

Not an auspicious start in these several weeks.<br /><br />Two, that's one county, with an inept county exec, and even the story says that the system was overhauled and that had stopped. <br /><br />So why should we sell off local control so that an Atlanta company can rip us off and put our vulnerable citizens in harm's way?capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-16385949012250383362011-08-16T22:42:22.134-05:002011-08-16T22:42:22.134-05:00Yeah, just what was Badger Cab wanting?

Sheesh, those whiners!<br /><br />And given that LogistiCare brags about how many states they contract with, you'd think that they'd have it down by now. But you did give me an idea. I wonder how many other states are also having issues with them.<br /><br />Then again, I don't know how many companies like Logisticare can miss seven appointments with just one person. They probably should be referred for adult protection services and child protection services.<br /><br />I know that they also need a 500 day turn around when counties only needed 30.

Walker had nothing to do with it. If you do some homework, you will find that there were no checks and balances when counties ran this. Therefore, millions of dollars worth of fraudulent claims that were paid to crooked transportation providers. Who paid for that? You guessed it, TAXPAYERS! Also, Logisticare uses "Volunteer Drivers" who are paid by the mile. Anyone interested should contact Logisticare to sign up. The bottom line is checks and balances are now in place to eliminate fraud that will save the state of Wisconsin millions of dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-20308297074466732722011-08-16T15:32:39.791-05:002011-08-16T15:32:39.791-05:00"Your such an idiot"
