Our History



EMS Billing Management, LLC was founded in 2006 by Bonnie Tuomala. The company is headquartered in Neosho, Missouri.

For many years EMS Billing Management focused on consulting and training; specializing in Medicare compliance audits, efficient billing processes, and management report training.

In 2008 the company began doing temporary sub-contracted billing services for EMS agencies that did in-house billing but were short staffed. This went on to expand to contracting with billing companies who were short staffed. We have gained experience working side-by-side with the best and most efficient EMS agencies and billing companies who specialize in EMS billing.
