Commission approves new EMS billing and collections companies for county ambulance service
Summary
The Public Safety committee recommendation to change the county ambulance service’s billing and collections contractors to EMC (billing) and AWA Collections (collections) was approved by the full legislative body by roll call.
The Hickman County legislative body voted May 27 to approve new contractors for ambulance billing and collections after the Public Safety committee recommended the change.
The commission approved the use of EMC for billing and AWA Collections (Dixon) as the collection agency for the county ambulance service. The motion to approve the committee’s recommendation passed on a roll-call vote, recorded as 12 yes, 2 absent.
Background and rationale: The Public Safety committee met earlier and recommended changing the ambulance service’s billing and collection vendors; meeting notes indicate the committee believes the change will improve billing and collection operations. Committee materials listed EMC as the billing contractor and AWA Collections as the collections firm.
Votes and procedure: The commission considered the committee motion and approved it by roll call. The meeting record does not show additional floor amendments to the vendor agreement. No contract terms, rates, or effective dates were read into the record at the meeting.
What happens next: County staff (Public Safety and county administration) will proceed with contract execution and vendor onboarding per standard procurement and contract procedures.
