TULSA — A federal agency should investigate how a Texas company handles ambulance service claims because its alleged mismanagement could force emergency services in rural areas to close, an Oklahoma congressman said Tuesday.

Boren wants the federal Medicare agency to launch an investigation but said a congressional probe also is possible, spokesman Cole Perryman said.
Billy Quarles, a spokesman for the Texas company, said officials want to gather additional information about the complaints so they can review and discuss them.
"We take these concerns very seriously, and will work with Congressman Boren's office to ensure they are addressed,” Quarles said.
