Comprehensive Ambulance Billing Services
Billing for ambulance services involves more than just submitting a claim. From verifying medical necessity to selecting the correct level of service and transport codes, each claim requires careful attention to detail. Missing documentation, incorrect codes, or delays can quickly result in lost revenue.
Our ambulance billing services are tailored to meet the specific needs of EMS providers, including 911 response teams, interfacility transport, and non-emergency patient transfers. We help ensure that every mile, every minute, and every procedure is accounted for accurately.
Specialized Ambulance Coding Expertise
We apply precise HCPCS, ICD-10, and service-level codes for Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and critical care transports.
Compliance with Medicare and Payer Guidelines
Our team stays current with CMS rules and private payer policies to ensure accurate claim submissions and minimize audit risk.
Insurance Verification and Prior Authorization
We verify coverage for non-emergency transports and ensure pre-authorization when required by payers.

All patient and transport records are handled securely and in full compliance with privacy laws.
