Healthcare Consulting Services, LLC (HCS), can assist you with improving or developing medical transportation services. We can provide efficiency improvement, systems analysis and new program development. The outcome is to help you ensure optimal cash flow while providing quality cost-effective patient transportation services.

At HCS, we have found that many medical transportation services have cash flow and other operational problems for a variety of reasons including:

Not being aware of all coding and billing practices that could enhance reimbursement

Not being aware of operational practices that lead to cost-effective transportation services

Not fully realizing medical and operational quality improvement strategies

HCS has professionals who deal with medical transportation service issues on a daily basis. Our staff will help you develop new transportation services or provide a comprehensive review of your existing services’ billing and accounts receivable policies and procedures, cost recovery procedures, medical transportation procedures or medical and operational quality improvement programs. With new transportation services, we will provide interim management services and start-up support including but not limited to feasibility studies, contract negotiations, human resource development, business office operations and operational manual development. With existing services, we will provide you with a report that outlines areas of concern and recommendations for improvement.

Often a Medical Transportation Services Operational Review will signal other areas for improvement. The areas commonly identified through this review are:

Emergency Department Operations

Outpatient Coding

Strategic Planning Opportunities

Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) Compliance

Re-engineering Opportunities

These are only some areas in which HCS has trained professionals. If you are interested in scheduling a transportation services operational review or are interested in learning more about it, please call Kam McQuay at (317) 633-4708, Ext. 311 or e-mail at kmcquay@hcs-healthcare.com.
