Either you are getting below local payment percentage OR watch out for the medicare insurance audit !.....................

Anyone that gets that much pecentage..... hmmm .. thats great, because even professional billing companies brag on their 60-70 %

Wow 88 to 90% collection rate? Wow that is amazing. Our billing clerk is very good at what she does but even then we have a lot that go into a collection agency. Could be our area, but hey that's a great percentage.

Simple...

$0.00

We don't charge our Pts for services rendered or miles traveled

(Directly anyway)

We work off the local tax base so basically we get paid by the town who gets paid by the Pt. ( and every other home and property owner in the district for that matter) in the form of thier annual property taxes

We run a free service and we're totally funded by voluntary contributions. The township uses our equipment during the day (6am to 6pm M-F), the police get AED pads, O2, and stuff from us for when they're on site first, and in return we get about $50,000 annually from them. That barely covers our insurance costs with a building, three ambulances, one MCI vehicle and one first responder vehicle (NJ has the highest insurance costs in the US).

We go to the community for donations and raise about $40,000-$50,000 that way, and we seek grants and such when we can get them. Other squads in the area run similarly.

How unusual is this nationwide or worldwide?

Here in British Columbia it's $54.00 for the first 50 kilometers and .50 per after. No charge for anything we use during the call.

However, if you a non-resident the cost is much higher.
