More Details On Steuben County's Plans For More EMS 

Steuben County Public Safety Director Tim Marshall is working with County Manager Jack Wheeler, on getting things ready, for the supplemental emergency services team, the county wants to put together this year.  Marshall  recently discussed with other county officials, plans on how the supplemental emergency services team will handle medical charts and medical billing.  "Would this require two different agencies (one for billing, one for providing medical charts) or could one agency handle both?"  That was a question posed to Marshall, during the Public Safety And Corrections Meeting this week.  "Most of them are separate," Marshall answered.  "However, they do work in paralell with each other.  So typically the charting agency provides the services to the medical billing agency, and the medical billing agency then bills the medical charting agency, for those services," Marshall explained.
