EMS Billing Services

Streamline Outsourced EMS Billing Services with A1MCA

EMS billing involves processing claims for emergency medical services, including ambulance transportation, paramedic care, etc. Effective billing of emergency services ensures precise coding, thorough documentation, and accurate submission to secure appropriate reimbursement from insurance providers.

However, many emergency care providers face significant challenges with complex coding requirements, frequent regulatory changes, and high claim denial rates. Accurate coding is essential for correct reimbursement, but the complexity of medical codes can be overwhelming. Additionally, keeping up with constantly evolving regulations requires continuous updates to billing practices.

We streamline EMS medical billing services to ensure efficiency and accuracy by:

• Accurately collecting all relevant patient and service data at the point of care. This includes capturing details such as patient demographics, insurance information, and specifics of the emergency services provided.
• Assigning the appropriate codes (CPT, ICD-10 CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS Level II, revenue codes, modifiers, NEMSIS, and place of service codes) to procedures, services, and supplies provided during emergency medical care.
• Ensuring EMS billing compliance with payer-specific guidelines and reducing the risk of coding errors.
• Staying updated with the EMS billing requirements for Medicare & Medicaid and other private insurers (Athena Health, Humana, United Health, etc.)
• Scrubbing the claims before submission, which involves rigorous checking for errors, inconsistencies, or missing information that could lead to claim denials or rejections
• Promptly submitting accurately coded and scrubbed claims using electronic systems to ensure quick and efficient submission, minimizing delays in the revenue cycle.
• Correcting issues regarding claim denials or rejections, resubmitting them quickly to handle denied claims effectively, and improving overall payment rates.
• Continuously monitoring regulatory changes and updates in emergency billing practices to ensure that all claims are compliant with current regulations.
