Billing documentation and claims at Bonner County EMS

Requesting a run report from Bonner County EMS

A patient care report and its assessment are protected health information, so how you fax them to Bonner County EMS matters as much as the number.

Faxing to Bonner County EMS — FAQ
That is standard; Bonner County EMS sends the run report to the hospital's emergency department after the transport. A copy for you goes through a records request, not the hospital hand-off. Give Bonner County EMS the receiving facility's fax so the report is not sent to a stale line. Send the report as one PDF so no vital sign or timestamp is cut off.
For a scheduled non-emergency transport, Bonner County EMS usually needs a physician certification statement — the doctor's signed certification that the patient's condition requires the transport. The statement names the patient, the reason transport is required, and the ordering physician. Name the patient and the transport dates so the PCS is matched to the right trips.
Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and the run number. Add a cover sheet addressed to dispatch, records, or billing at Bonner County EMS with your callback number. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
A transport agency is staffed 24/7 for crews and dispatch, so an incoming fax is received any time, while records paperwork moves during office hours. The dispatch line is covered every hour, with the records and billing office on a weekday schedule. Send anything routine early in the day so it does not wait over a closed office. Expect same-day handling for a request sent while the office is open.
