Ambulance Collections in TX

MSB has led the region’s ambulance billing since 1971. We understand the stress on local crews who must follow new 2026 price limits while dealing with high costs and rules for clear pricing. Our team protects your money by checking insurance instantly and using a proven system to stop insurance companies from underpaying.

By mixing 55 years of local knowledge with new tools, we do more than just collect bills. We master state rescue rules and the ban on surprise bills to keep your money safe. Our name is built on honest work, making sure every trip—from big cities to local fire districts—is billed exactly right. Joining MSB gives you the power to handle state funding programs and get extra cash for patients who cannot pay.

We utilize a strategic four-phase model to boost your revenue while navigating the Texas regulatory landscape. Our process moves quickly to keep your agency’s cash flow strong and compliant with 2026 mandates.

Phase 1: Claim Validation & Billing (Days 1–30) We prioritize 24-hour turnarounds to capture revenue under the new SB 916 inflation-capped rate limits. Our team verifies insurance immediately to stay ahead of the strict 95-day Texas Medicaid filing window and avoid rejections from major regional payers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. We ensure every claim is documented to meet DSHS licensing standards for emergency transport.

Phase 2: Managed Care Follow-up (Days 31–60) Our specialists aggressively pursue unpaid claims from carriers like Superior HealthPlan and Molina Healthcare. We handle technical appeals for SB 1264 and SB 2476 “surprise billing” disputes, using the Texas Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) portal to recover maximum revenue. This keeps patients protected from balance bills while securing the fair market rates your crew has earned.

Phase 3: Formal Collections & Notice (Days 61–90) Unpaid accounts move to a stage governed by Texas Finance Code Chapter 392. We send professional notices that follow state-specific debtor protections, including strict rules on contact timing and validation. Our process protects your agency’s reputation while encouraging payment through transparent pricing disclosures and flexible arrangements that fit the local economy.

Phase 4: Final Recovery & Review (Day 91+) For difficult accounts, we review options within the four-year statute of limitations. We utilize every compliant resource, including the Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program (ASSPP) and the new HB 3000 rural grants, ensuring your Emergency Services District (ESD) receives its rightful funding before the legal window for recovery expires.
