Voice any violations you have witnessed or practices zoll forces us to incorporate to keep heads above water and know about but turns the other way. They want us to use the unethical practices as we have all expressed and its time we help stop it.

Better to first find a lawyer before contacting Zoll. Employment lawyers all work on contingency, so don't retain one that asks for any money up front. Zoll doesn't have your interests at heart, only protecting themselves, so they can easily spin whatever you've witnessed and say to them, against you.

that's why I don't want to leave info on the Zoll line. Let"s retain a lawyer first, and I'll share my data and insights with the lawyer/s. I have a ton of stuff with hard evidence.

The email address is NOT affiliated with Zoll. They do NOT need your name and you can email under a made up address. This is a @gmail address NOT @zoll address. There are needing hospital name where there are PSR that work in ICU, CCU, Tele, ect. All the talk on here is worthless unless the proper authorities get the information.
If this was a zoll corporate employee why would I need to know where my PSR are at I would ask the RM and TM? This information will be used to hold zoll accountable for there practices. The investigation is underway already they need the Hospitals where this is happening and the state. There are also a few hospital employees that has email. These are RN that think its unfair only certain RN get the opportunity to gain money, looking in other RN's patients chart. Remember there are a few different suits.

What lawyer are u getting? What are you going to share with them? Sue zoll for what if you still have a job. Not sure what your accomplishing? The PSR thing can be addressed with corporate hospitals, OIG , JACHO, You need to talk to hospitals they will and are going to put the end to zolls shit. They will put a fine on them and regulations so they cant sell there product in the hospitals for there wrong doing and zoll cant stop this!! Its already being investigated and will have a bad ending for zoll i promise. DO what you want but make a difference. The big whistle-blowers are the RN's at hospitals think its unfair for "PSR" RN that's dating or just fucking TM and getting the fit money. You have have see this coming then there is hospital investigation the RN says zoll said it was fine and knew I was the charge RN and told me to look at charts. Zoll will loose in court the common person in a jury will see what they are doing and making the hard working RN loose there licenses. Zoll how do you sleep at night. Jail cell soon.

[Anonymous]

GOT IT..Well that's why I'm trying to get a lawyer to handle this and maybe I just thought I recorded it.. Any more help would be appreciated. A nice severance would have been a lot easier. lol
Thank you,

How's it working out for you? Are they agreeing to a severance now?

Please make them pay!!! I was terminated and I was at 117% to plan for my 2 year career at Zoll. I was 53 years old and told my boss that his direction and marching orders were inappropriate policies and were costing me business and my reputation. I was terminated for Insubordination. Where do I sign up?

Did you contact the attorney on this site that listed his address and number? Let us know if you are reporting info. I think this practice is becoming common at Zoll (getting rid of sales people around the 2 year mark who are over a certain age).

Hopefully I will get a rely now!! Zoll terminated me NOV,12 on a HIPAA violation. There was no investigation with the hospital. Just the word of my RM that road with me one day. He apparently had no ideal the Director of Purchasing gave me a BAA (business associates agreement) with the hospital Which gives me authority to look at charts without HIPAA violation. In addition I HAVE the physicians consent to identify patients. The Hospital was Pissed because Zoll was accusing the hospitals Charge Nurse and floor Supervisor with the HIPAA violation since they gave me the charts.

ZOLL tossed me in the streets with NO insurance, severance or explanation. As a single dad of 4 this is really taking a toll on me mentally, physically and emotionally. You fired me on FALSE allegations!!! Since you don't give a shit about me or my family!! I have informed all 4 of my hospitals about the questionable practices of Zoll. First is the "stragitic PSR". This is a HIPAA violation waiting to happen , I was told. Zoll wants us to find RN that work or have access to "high volume" of potential patients. Then look in there charts and "identify" if they meet the requirements for LV. Hospitals informed me this breaks the "Minimum Necessary Information rule" and "Patient Privacy Rule". Anybody that knows little about HIPAA will tell you this is a SERIOUS violation because the RN is doing it for personal financial gain by looking at the patients chart to get fit $. This carries the maximum HIPAA criminal penalty of 10 years prison and $250,000 fine, look it up. Both hospitals informed me if that happens the TM and Zoll will go down with them. THEY ALL said if there are any in there hospital's to deactivate them immediately!!!. In addition we PAY the "stragitic PSR" to do in-services to teach other RN what to look for. Territory managers are playing with fire and Zoll does not give a shit, they actually encourage this and just want MO's. Just ask ANY hospital Director of Nursing, don't take my word.

Why was it so hard for me as the first Territory Manager in the area to get the hospital's and RN to get Medical Orders???????? BECAUSE they do not Normally look if the patients cath report or in history to see if they have dilated LV or NICM or indications for LV. These are thing Zoll's asking RN to look for these things that DO NOT pertain to the patients care which violates the "Minimum Necessary Information rule" If they are PSR then they are looking at patients information for personal financial gain which hold a criminal penalty. DOESN'T matter what Zoll says and how they try to twist it!! Just ask your hospitals and Directors of Nurse's at your hospital. The Hospitals want to protect there staff and them selves. I was told... They could be held liable for allowing the practice in the hospital if a violation was made.

Also I've shown my hospital's Zoll's "Patient Flow Chart" and always saying we need to "Identify" patients. How can we do that without a HIPAA violation, the hospital asks. We CAN"T Identify anybody without the Physician consent. Who gives a shit about the patient flow chart we shouldn't know about any patients condition. Unless the hospital calls us we shouldn't even be in the hospitals EXCEPT to educate the RN on how to fill out the Medical Order, NOT to look for criteria. I WAS TOLD. Zoll has skated by on thin ice or that "gray" area and now there about to get called out by hospitals, Office of civil rights, and DOJ.

ALSO why are the PSR not VCS or Reptrac credentialed??? Ive spoke with my hospitals about this. They ALL said Zoll knows better since Zoll make all there employees credentialed. Next time you check in your hospital ask the purchasing director about it. They will say yes they have to check in. SHIT they wont the florist to check in, that's why they leave flower at front desk so they don't have to be VCS. Zoll preach about morals, ethics and do the right thing until it might cost you money or unless it benefits you.

You also fit all 3 patients that you said I obtained patient information ILLEGALLY or with a HIPAA violation. You processed the order charged the patients insurance with the illegally obtained information and fit them.. I'M pretty sure that's INSURANCE FRAUD. Using patient information that you fired me for... HUMMMM. Don't worry hospitals doing the investigation.

Can anybody let me know why Zoll did this to me? I will keep pleading my case to every body until I get the answer.. The 50% quota increase is impossible, which makes TM do the questionable actions to them selves and hospital staff. I have been told for months my job was on the line if i don't bring my number up. I made may quota for 13 months in a row. Then I have been through some hard times past few months with a divorce and loss of family member but Zoll took none of that in consideration. They are selfish assholes. My quota was at 85% when I got fired and I was making ground! My RM was only in my territory 4 days from his hire to my fire, so saying they help there employees reach there quota is BULLSHIT!! Every day me and my kids struggles on where to get money to live I WILL educated every hospital, government agency and anybody that will listen in the USA on the questionable practices. You have ruined my life on a FALSE allegation, Ill do everything I can to return the favor to ZOLL. If anybody can help with information on what to do will be greatly appreciated.

My advice is to stop talking to everyone and contact a labor atty I mediately... There are see real things you can do.. Not only can you go after them on a wrongful termination suit, you can possibly sue them for the Charater thing... Hard to prove... The biggest. Thing you have is a Whistleblower suit.... Do you any documentation that shows Zoll to have directed you or anyone to commit these violations?

You're the r***** too you ZOLL clown degenerate , the only people this company can get to work for them is r*****s. The good quality intelligent people don't even look at ZOLL lifevest for a position or accept a position if they were looking after doing some research. So when you hire r*****s, expect r*****s to come on Café Pharma and post retarded things. You're retarded, the person that wrote the post is retarded, the device is retarded, and the company is retarded. I was completely lied to throughout the interview process, which is the only reason I'm working here right now and I am definitely not a r*****. As a matter fact I'm so not a r*****, that I'm quitting next week and putting my two weeks notice in hopefully early next week because I got offered a job with a real company with a real device. I've only been working here for three months and new shortly after I accepted the job that it was a mistake. So I'm so glad that I kept on interviewing for other opportunities at the same time I accepted this stupid ass gig. And yes I'm a r***** too for accepting the position without doing enough research. But at least I can admit the retarded move,but luckily I'm going to be able to get out of here very quickly.

you have been here for 3 months? Two weeks is not necessary and they won't honor it. They will shut you off "effective immediately". Wait until everything has been reimbursed, bonus paid and you have solid footing elsewhere. Remember this is the easiest 5hr a week job you will ever have........all other garbage aside.

You know what? you're right. Thank you for the online consult. Actually I'm probably just going to quit as soon as I get my offer letter, which will be the end of segment. The reason is I just cannot stand to wake up in the morning and have to deal with anymore negativity bullshit with this device anymore. I had a patient last week walk into my biggest cardiology office , throw the lifevest up on the receptionist desk and say "I'm not wearing this piece of shit anymore, all it does is gong and make alarm sounds and I got a $1000 co-pay bill for which the hospital told me told me that the device was covered". I don't know how people have been lying to doctors patients and everyone else about the marketing and everything else that goes along with this device for as many years as they have for those of you that have worked here for more than a year. I have felt over the past three months like the slimiest used car salesman, losing credibility, and having to be somebody that I'm not. It's my own damn fault for not doing enough research before accepting the position. Oh well, lesson learned. At least I got another position just around the bend.

Again wait until you are on solid footing......if your other company asks down the road "why the overlap?", which they won't, just say you submitted your two weeks to you manager and he held back for your bonus and needed help to transition. Now as to your "Self-Worth".....DON"T QUIT BECAUSE you can provide a buffer for physicians and patients for the next couple of weeks until you settle in else where. Why should people be exposed to this crap. You get an order, be forth right and tell physician why it won't be covered. Be forth right in your transition of two weeks with customers don't leave them in a learch. Have a patient complaint? Advise them to seek the state AG as they probably signed the contract under duress at the bedside loaded up on good drugs...which by the way is an established business practice for Zoll. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.
