MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — PWW Advisory Group has released its new EMS Financial Index, the third and final index of the year and the only tool of its kind in the industry.
The new index expands on findings published earlier this year, offering updated comparisons and benchmarks aimed at helping EMS agencies assess their financial performance.
The analysis was developed by Matt Zavadsky of PWW|AG and Kim Stanley of EMS|MC, drawing on their backgrounds in reimbursement, finance and system design. Using data from more than 1,500 EMS agencies — public and private, large and small, rural and urban — the index offers key insights into supplemental payments, payer trends and revenue stability.
In the index are detailed analyses of core metrics that shape EMS financial stability nationwide, including:
- Average ambulance charges and revenue for public agencies
- Average Medicaid supplemental (GEMT) payments in participating states
- Service-level patterns, payer mix and revenue trends for interfacility transfers
- Comparative reimbursement from Medicare, Medicare Advantage and patient payments
