Topics discussed included:

• First Responder as legal ambulance crew member.
• ICD-10 ambulance billing code changes, effective October 1, 2015, and what this means for your ambulance service.  ICD-9 diagnostic code submissions won't be accepted as of the ICD-10 effective date by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.  This can be a big deal depending on your payer mix and cash flow.  The last thing you want is patient transport bills being denied by Medicare for improper diagnostic codes.
• Medicare fraud with attorney Wendy Arends from Godfrey and Kahn, Madison.
• Announcement of new webcast title from "Wisconsin EMS Live" to "EMS Live in Wisconsin" and reasons for the change.
