The electronic billing process Starke County EMS is using to submit claims to BlueCross BlueShield is going well so far. Director Keith Emigh told the county commissioners Monday the service is tracking the time from billing to payment. He says the insurance company pays claims in the same time frame, regardless of whether they are mailed or submitted electronically.
The biggest difference is Starke County EMS is able to submit claims faster. Also, Emigh says the electronic filing process catches errors right away so they can be corrected and resubmitted.
Emigh also told the commissioners he’s in the process of applying for grants to purchase new equipment for the ambulances. Specifically he’s looking to upgrade the cots and monitors.
