LEESBURG - The $11,000 invoice showing charges from Multi-Township EMS, dating back to 1996, has the Plain Township Board of Trustees in a quandary. They had no clue the bills existed until last month and they've all served on the board since 1996. Plain Township EMS services does not have a paramedic on staff.When a call comes in requiring a paramedic (shortness of breath, known heart conditions, trauma) a Multi-Township EMS ambulance carrying a paramedic has been automatically dispatched. Persons transported by ambulance have been receiving two billings - one from Plain Township and one from Multi-Township. The snag, according to trustee Claudia Archer, has been how Medicare payments are distributed.
