Need to improve your Ambulance Billing Service?

More and more people are becoming increasingly aware of just how much value an EMS Billing Service can offer to their organization.

A recent news article (10th October, 2012) described how city officials in Glenn Heights, Dallas has taken on board an external billing service as they looked for ways to increase revenue without increasing taxes. So why was this decision made?

Quite simply an independent Ambulance Billing Service can provide a better and more efficient service to both their clients and the general public. At ABS Inc. we employ dedicated individuals to perform specific tasks to ensure the smooth running of all operations.

It mostly comes down to the management issue of billing services within the emergency medical services. It can be time consuming and expensive, more so when it comes to debt recovery. There is of course the added burden and cost of keeping up with current policies and regulations from organizations such as HIPAA.

ABS specialists, such as ABS Inc. provide a service that brings everything together and generates growth in revenue, substantial increases in many cases. Any EMS company that is struggling to break even or making small gains in their billing services really need to have serious consideration in to out-sourcing this business activity to a dedicated and expert billing service provider, such as ourselves.

Another aspect that should be considered is the customer service relationship. Our members of staff are trained to deal with all people in a highly professional manner, remaining courteous at all times in dealing with their affairs.
