Has anyone seen any cases where they have lost local government funding due to the fact that the organization has started to bill?

Hi all, I run in an area of NJ where recently we have seen a large increase in the number residents we provide care to. Just recently the idea has come up that we begin to bill our patients for our services due to low funding. We are a mostly volunteer organization who has a paid crew on from 6 am to 6 pm due to most of our members working at daily jobs. However, at this time we do receive funding from the various townships and boroughs we serve. What I am looking to see is if anyone has any information about the whole process of becoming state certified and if billing would cause an issue due to the fact that our patients would essentially being paying twice for the same service. We're completely new to this idea so anything would help. Thanks for the help

I was wondering what any of your squads are doing for EMS week in the school systems. We've never really gotten to involved with it in the community and we're trying to give it a good start. Any body have any ideas?
