Digitech Computer Awarded New Contract
Private ambulance company taps Digitech to conduct its billing Briarcliff Manor, NY - (June 21, 2006) - Digitech Computer, Inc., a leading provider of billing solutions for the EMS industry, today announced that ATS Medical Services, a private ambulance company, has contracted Digitech for billing services on its ambulance transports. Digitech's Ambulance Commander® provides such integrated features as call-taking, GPS vehicle tracking, digital dispatching, security and HIPAA-compliant Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance electronic invoicing. It also enables clients to maintain real-time access to all of its billing data and financial reports via a secured Internet connection. The Rockford, Illinois-based ATS Medical Services, which serves Winnebago County, will utilize Digitech's dispatch software and billing and collections services. Established in July 2005, ATS currently makes an average of 400 ambulance transports per month. Andy Schultz, ATS president and field paramedic, said that prior to utilizing Digitech, his company had seen more than $200,000 in uncollected Medicare payments. "We had been using an online billing program, but it was neither accurate nor error-free. Since we switched to Digitech, our cash flow continues to increase significantly," he said. Mark Schiowitz, Digitech president, said that he is pleased that ATS has already seen results. "When the president of an ambulance company also sits in the driver's seat, it's challenging to be in multiple places at the same time. Our services will allow ATS staff to focus on saving lives, and our staff can focus on their collections." For more than 20 years, Digitech's turnkey solutions, team of billing experts and veterans of the ambulance industry have helped medical transportation organizations regain control of time-saving and cost efficiencies with Ambulance Commander®, its customizable, proprietary software. Digitech's pricing structure optimizes both cash flow and return on investment by eliminating the need to purchase an expensive software package and train new users. Start-up and operating costs are greatly reduced. Digitech's company headquarters are located at 555 Pleasantville Road, Suite 110/ North Building, Briarcliff Manor, NY, 10510. Phone: (914) 741-1919.
