State and federal law enforcement officials said yesterday that Rockingham Regional Ambulance agreed to pay $882,000 to the federal government and $76,000 to the state.
The ambulance service was accused of filing claims for emergency advanced life support services when the services weren't appropriate or documented. The company also submitted claims for emergency basic life support when the provided services were in non-emergency situations.
