The August 2025 EMS Financial Index, released by PWW Advisory Group in partnership with EMS|MC, provides updated financial benchmarks for EMS agencies across the U.S., covering critical metrics such as emergency response service mix, patient financial responsibility on commercial claims, and reimbursement trends including Medicare and Medicare Advantage rates. This quarterly report aggregates revenue cycle management data from over 1,500 EMS agencies, offering insights into reimbursement challenges amid evolving regulations like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and state balance-billing laws. With many EMS agencies facing financial pressures affecting recruitment and service sustainability, the Index serves as a strategic tool to evaluate financial performance and guide best practices in revenue cycle management.
