PAAW Member Benefits & Dues

Become a member today - it's the right thing to do

The Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin advocates for the ambulance industry and emergency medical services (EMS) in Wisconsin.  The organization is only as strong as its members and leaders and their engagement in the process to maintain a healthy, sustainable EMS delivery system in Wisconsin.

PAAW is active in government relations and advocacy for its members and EMS at-large at the State Capitol in Madison and through various  meetings and committee involvement.  PAAW's government relations work is managed by Midwest Strategies in Madison.  PAAW hosts a bi-monthly member call to provide legislative updates.  Board of director meetings are scheduled every other month, to include an annual meeting once per year.

Product purchasing discounts and incentives through Savvik Buying Group typically cover the cost of 12-month member dues.

PAAW is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization.

To discuss your new member interests or questions, contact PAAW Administrator Amanda Riordan at amanda@paaw.us.

Increasing the Odds of Getting Paid for Ambulance Patient Transports

To the ambulance administrator or person who does patient billing, the aging report is a key measure to cash flow management in running a healthy ambulance service business.  Given tougher than usual economic times, ambulance companies are experiencing an increase in private pay and other circumstances with patient transport bills not getting paid, and for many, the non collection percentage continues to go up.  There is a solution:  Transworld Systems, Inc. 

Recently signed by PAAW as the newest member benefit in group purchasing, Transworld Systems takes the nightmare out of past due collections.  For flat fee of $10 per patient account, they manage a series of contacts with better than above average results. Bottom line:  It might be better to contact them for $10 before reporting to your board or supervisor the need for approval to write off that $500 or $1,200 patient transport bill.
