Gather billing information

A necessary result of EMS services is the need to bill patients for services rendered and supplies used for treatment, and to collect payment. This may also involve additional information and establishing medical necessity, particularly in the case of Medicaid and Medicare. You need to record transport information, consumables used during treatment, any next of kin, and (if applicable) employer information.

Note: Before you begin using the EHR module, you need to contact your ESO Suite administrator and ask them to enable tabs, fields, validations, defaults, and so forth, so that your agency can capture the data it needs. The administrator can also disable the display of tabs and fields that your department does not need, to streamline the EHR module to only the necessary fields.

Information on configurations and settings that affect the EHR module is available in Configure tabs.
