Typically, billing services charge a small percentage of what they collect as their fee. However, some billing services charge 12%, 14% and even 17% as their initial billing fee, and it goes even higher if the claim doesn't get paid quickly. Unfortunately, departments are paying that fee without knowing they have an alternative. EMS Medical Billing Associates provides complete EMS and Fire billing services using state-of-the-art billing and run documentation technologies, no-cost training, support, and monthly reports for a percentage fee in the single digits. There is absolutely no reason to pay more.

Q: Our current EMS billing company is charging us 15%.
Are we paying too much?
A: Absolutely. We offer a full range of billing and ePCR
services for a fee in the single digits. Ask about our 7%
across-the-board billing fee, and see how much you can put
back into your budget for next year.
Q: We’re considering doing inter-facility / non-emergency
transports. Can you bill for that?
A: We currently bill for approximately 20,000 such calls per
year. No other billing service in Wisconsin has more
experience with inter-facility / non-emergency
ambulance billing.
Q: Is it correct that a billing service must have a collection
agency license to receive and deposit our payments?
A: Yes, that is the current law in Wisconsin. As a fully
licensed collection agency, we can receive your payments at
our office and electronically deposit them the same day.
Unlicensed billing services cannot receive your payments,
make deposits, or even negotiate payment plans.
Q: Our billing company requires us to open a checking
account at their bank. Do you?
A: No. We remote deposit all payments to our clients’
existing bank accounts.
Q: We have to go online to get our monthly reports.
Shouldn’t we just receive them?
A: Of course! Every month we provide accurate reports via
e-mail or on paper. Just tell us your preference.
Check Your Contract!Imagine you’ve hired a new billing service and signed a contract. A week later, you receive a letter from your current billing service stating that you didn’t provide enough notification to terminate their contract. It’s happened before, and it’s definitely a situation to avoid. The fact is, some billing contracts automatically renew for the entire contract period if notification is not provided within a certain number of days prior to the expiration date of the contract.
If you’re considering a change in billing services, now is the time to review the exit clause of your contract to ensure you can proceed on your terms, and in your time frame.
