ORTIVUS PARTNERS WITH PAGE, WOLFBERG AND WIRTH TO BRING THE EMS INDUSTRY BILLING INFORMATION IN A NEW ONLINE FORMAT

Ortivus is pleased to announce a new project and partnership with Page, Wolfberg and Wirth (PWW) that will provide billing educational webinars to the EMS Industry in a convenient online format. Page, Wolfberg and Wirth has developed a popular reimbursement and compliance conference that began in 2005 and has been offered in the forms of physical conference locations and audio tapes. Ortivus also has worked diligently in the EMS billing educational arena by offering information largely through the webinar online format since 2004.

In today's business environment of increasing efficiency, saving time and reducing costs, the online webinar format offers organizations an excellent method of obtaining information and training that meets these criteria.

The PWW - Ortivus webinar series in 2007 will take place in a four-part offering and will utilize content from the ABC3 2005-2006 conferences. The content is designed to help EMS organizations maximize their bottom lines by improving billing, as well as achieving reimbursement goals while remaining fully compliant with all of the complex laws and regulations that pertain to ambulance billing.
 
Attendees can join the webinar events from the comfort of their office or home and hear the live presentation with ability to see visuals and ask questions. All that is needed is a phone and an internet connection to join.
