What counts as revenues? Everyone knows that Medicare payments, insurance payments, and patient self-pays are revenue, but what about other sources that you may not normally think of? Do you receive VA payments, do you have membership fees, or get local taxes earmarked for EMS? If so, you won't want to miss this webinar and learn how to recognize different revenue sources as well as the best way to categorize them and submit them to CMS

The post On-Demand | ACE Cost Collection: Revenues appeared first on American Ambulance Association.

Not only does CMS need information on labor, facilities, vehicles, and equipment costs, they have room for services to submit all other costs that are required to provide ambulance services to patients. By participating in this webinar, you can learn about the many different additional costs you incur, such as accounting costs, IT support, etc., that we often don't think about but adds to the bottom line. You will also get great ideas on how to correctly allocate these and other costs to multiple NPI's or your parent organization if needed. Total costs will be defined and explained and the importance of the self-check of total costs compared to revenue is not only necessary data for submission but important for your service to truly understand the cost of service.

Total responses, total transports, and paid versus unpaid transports can be confusing. Learn how CMS wants this data submitted and how you may be missing some information on vital requests for services. In this webinar, the participants will gain an understanding of not only how CMS wants the different service volumes reported, but why. Join us for an in-depth look at the background and history of how and why knowing your total volume and the different categories of data can make a big difference in your service.

This webinar covers the many different questions asked by the CMS Medicare Data Collection Instrument about the service area you cover. How do you determine your primary area versus your secondary area—and does it even matter? Attend this webinar to find out. The participants will also gain knowledge and understanding of how definitions of response times can affect emergency responders and the accuracy of the data submitted. Knowing response times can greatly improve a system’s performance so understanding how to properly calculate it is critical. Join us to learn more.
