Consumerism and Health Care Services
The norm of consumerism has evolved into a lot of research for the consumer: researching different products/services, reading online reviews, and comparing prices. Because of that, it’s no surprise that the same process had started to become more common for healthcare. Many patients have most likely done research to find an in-network provider, and that’s more recently extended to include price shopping as well. Thanks to online resources from insurers, providers, and government agencies, patients can now look up the average cost of their medical care. Plus, due to the complexities of health insurance, patients have started to ask more questions, so they’ll also reach out to clinics to ask about the costs of their services.

Consumers and patients have been advocating for this option for years, and current circumstances have resulted in an accelerated evolution. For those who are disabled, who do not have reliable transportation, or live in a rural area that does not have a nearby specialty clinic, telehealth has become a welcome change. Not to mention, your average hectic family schedule can benefit from an online appointment.

EMS Billing and Inaccurate Reports: How Outsourcing Can Help
One of the most important aspects to successful ambulance billing: accurate and detailed identification and notes. Whether a ride is deemed emergency, non-emergency, or canceled, that documentation ensures the ambulance crew gets properly reimbursed for their services. However, there are often times when a patient is unresponsive or unable to remember their information, which can create issues in the Patient Care Report (PCR) that begins the billing process.
