Small documentation gaps can slow everything down.

Signatures are one of the most overlooked pieces in the revenue cycle, but they have a direct impact on how quickly claims are submitted and paid.

Our billing team took a short break to have a little fun. The Escape Room was a blast. Everyone came through and cracked the codes to escape. Ella was definitely our MVP. It was a great team building experience.

BREAKING: CMS has announced that it has directed its MACs to lift the hold on Medicare ambulance claims.

This means that claims with dates of service on or after 10/1/25 should be processed and paid (where covered) by Medicare.

However, our team is receiving multiple reports of claims being paid WITH the temporary add-on bonuses (2% urban, 3% rural and 22.6% super rural). Because the extenders expired on September 30th, CMS has no statutory authority to pay ambulance claims with the bonus amounts.

Until these issues come into sharper focus, we continue to recommend that ambulance services HOLD their Medicare claims until Congress acts on the ambulance extenders.

We will continue to follow the developments and will update you as timely as we can.

From PWW Advisory Group on the government shutdown.

BREAKING: Government Shutdown & Ambulance Add-Ons – What EMS Needs to Know

Congress failed to pass a funding package by midnight, triggering a federal government shutdown starting today, October 1, 2025.

Here’s why this matters to EMS:

The 2% urban, 3% rural, and 22.6% super-rural ambulance add-ons expired on September 30, and whether they continue now depends entirely on what Congress does next.

Medicare payments will still be processed, but if the shutdown drags on more than 2 weeks, agencies could see reduced reimbursement until add-ons are retroactively extended.

Other key provisions, like telehealth flexibilities and Hospital-at-Home waivers, have also expired and await renewal.

The Words We Say Shape the Future of EMS

To every EMS professional out there — veteran, rookie, leader, or student — hear this clearly: your words matter. What you post online, what you like and share, what you say in the breakroom, and how you portray this profession directly impacts who joins our ranks and who walks away.

We all know the challenges. Long hours. Low pay. Emotional and physical demands that few outside EMS will ever understand. But relentless negativity isn't helping — it's hurting.

When we tear down this profession in public spaces, we’re not just venting — we’re repelling future medics, crippling emerging leaders, and confirming the doubts of those on the edge of burnout. Every disparaging meme, sarcastic comment, or bitter post can undo the progress that others are working tirelessly to build.

Don’t gripe about what EMS lacks if you're not willing to invest in it. If you’re tired of the game and unwilling to engage in solutions — cash out. But if you want to be part of the fix, double down. Mentor a new hire. Join your professional associations. Take a leadership course instead of your umpteenth routine CEU class. Educate your community. Advocate for change. Show pride. And, it should go without saying but, keep your ambulance clean and your uniform sharp and professional. Image matters as much as your words.

Here’s a fact: You may be your own worst enemy — or you can be your own best cheerleader.

This profession needs champions. It needs you. Speak life into it. Build it up. Fight for it. We can’t expect others to respect what we ourselves constantly tear down.

Let’s do better. Together.

Still no power at the office. We are very thankful for the utility crews who are working around the clock and in the rain. We hope to have our phones up shortly.
