Sound and proven processes
EMS Billing Services Inc. uses a proactive and innovative approach to billing that was designed by our CEO Leslie Vaughn and has been adapted in numerous medical venues across the country. This billing approach allows us to maximize your collections and produces “clean and solvent” revenue that is in compliance with federal regulations. What we do is so much more than filing billing claims. We believe that when you hire a billing company your priority should be maximizing revenue rather than minimizing costs. We use a comprehensive revenue cycle management process that produces revenue results that will far exceed your costs, making it one of the most worthwhile investments for your squad. Our revenue cycle management approach oversees all of your revenue from start to finish. This process includes the following steps:
- Enrollment with insurance companies
- Consulting and education
- Capturing charges
- Coding and submitting claims
- Third party follow-up
- Remittance, processing and rejections review
- Posting your payments
- Appeals and collections
Consistent cash flow
Our proactive claims filing process and revenue recapture program significantly alleviates unnecessary denials and appeals resulting in quicker reimbursement without delays. This process significantly reduces the number of claims that are typically turned over to collection agencies, which can result in a loss of 40 percent of revenue, thus producing greater revenue to our clients in a timely manner. The majority of our clients report a 30 percent increase in revenue within the first year.
Experience and knowledge you can trust
As trusted leaders in the field, our team consults and participates in multiple committees and work groups on local, state and national levels that have been responsible for developing new billing standards and practices. Our team has been a relentless advocate for rural emergency medical services in the Midwest and has worked with legislators to educate them about the issues volunteer EMS and fire services face to financially survive.
