“Just because the nation’s economy is bad, that doesn’t mean your economy has to be bad.” (Dave Ramsey, noted financial expert, “The Dave Ramsey Show”)
Tough economic times
While federal and state grant opportunities have drastically increased over the last several years, it may not last. Joe Schmider, Director of the Bureau of EMS, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said recently at Cornerstone’s Grant Seminar that in Pennsylvania, budget cuts will most likely happen so it’s critical to apply for grants quickly. It’s true that there are hundreds of millions of dollars waiting to be allocated to EMS and Fire companies throughout the state and nation. Last year alone, over $500 million was appropriated to the industry.
However, for every $100 that was available to Fire Companies in grants, only $5 was available to EMS Agencies. Now, more than ever, it’s critical to partner with an EMS billing company who recognizes that increased weekly cash flow is the best strategy in these trying times. Your financial certainty can best be achieved by partnering with Cornerstone.
“Since coming on with Cornerstone, we have seen a significant increase in revenues in comparison to our previous billing company. The increased revenue has helped our company acquire a second BLS truck, increase employee benefits, and perform much needed building maintenance.”
Zachary E. Boyer, Vice President
