Air Revenue Cycle
At HSI, we have always prided ourselves in being more than just a billing company. We are a partner to clients who need a reliable, trusted source for all aspects of their air revenue cycle management. We take this responsibility seriously. HSI’s goal is to provide world-class service by using our proprietary cutting-edge technology and highly-trained professionals and to remain invested in continuous process improvement for the betterment of our clients. Whether your program is fixed wing, rotor wing (or both); private, public, or hospital-based, we have something for you!
HSI takes the time to learn our clients’ operations and understand where we can offer improvements or input throughout the entire process.
