What really burns me up about these companies that just disappear is that we have to front so much expense to even do the work.  Copy charges, auto expense, salaries - it costs real money to do these things and when we don't get paid it really hurts!  I thought this CMS guy was sick - everybody here seem to be defending him.  He blew me off for $3,000.00 - I should have just set fire to $1500.00 and taken a week off instead of doing all that work, busting butt to get it in on time and correct under the ever more ridiculous requirements imposed by people who have no business in this business.
