Fire/EMS Revenue Recovery << Fire/EMS Providers Fire/EMS Providers “Fire and EMS service is a dynamic, complex and demanding industry. Dwindling departmental budgets and increasing demands on services are pushing Fire Chiefs and EMS Administrators to be creative in ways never seen before. America's Fire and EMS professionals are facing unprecedented financial and operational constraints.”
Glenn Goodpaster, Director of MED3OOO M3/EMS Solutions
The challenges facing municipal, volunteer, and hospital-based ambulance services are significant. Constant pressure on tax-based and other revenue sources combined with increased costs for fuel and other resources conspires to reduce the funds available for new equipment and training for ambulance companies. Most EMS providers have turned to third-party billing as an additional source of funding, but unpaid or delayed insurance payments and uncollected bills may only exacerbate the problem.
Our M3/EMS division has been collectively serving the unique needs of ambulance providers since 1991. We have instituted procedures for collecting PCRs, posting appropriate charges, submitting electronic claims, following up on all self-pay and insurance balances, mailing patient statements, posting cash, and recording the disposition of remaining claims through appropriate write-offs or forwarding to collection agents for further action.
Our success with EMS is not accidental; this success can be traced to a number of strengths. M3/EMS offers revenue recovery services for ambulance and emergency transports which offer our clients:
- Increased EMS Revenue - on average our clients have seen a 20% improvement in revenues in competitive replacement programs.
- Executive leadership composed of former Fire/EMS professionals and Certified Public Accountants that understand your business and eliminates administrative overhead.
- Electronic integration with most popular PCR software systems that will eliminate the need to forward paper Patient Care Records speeding the process and reducing paperwork.
- Management reports available on-line and in real time developed by Fire Chiefs and CPAs that are easy to understand and comprehensive.
- Ability to purchase EMS billing service and PCR software under one contract.
