Testimonials

I don’t believe there is a better company to serve our needs. SDW has some of the best customer service I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. The training and education they provide has been extremely helpful at all levels. I know that they’re always working their hardest for our benefit, our patients, and our image while keeping us compliant with regulations. 

Rob

Deputy Chief, OR, Fire District

We have increased revenues based on SDW’s ability to bill quickly and efficiently. When I have questions and I do frequently, SDW always responds quickly and to this date, have always given me the correct information. We went from using a flat percentage based billing and replaced that with SDW’s pricing and appreciated the 40K increase in revenue in the first year. We have never looked back. 

Jeff

EMS Chief, ID, Ambulance Agency

Since switching to SDW we have faster turn around times for claims to be filed and paid since they have an entire time working for us. I appreciate how helpful everyone is that works at SDW. I had a lot of questions during our transition and the entire staff was helpful and friendly with quick response times and going above and beyond when I needed guidance. We were doing in house billing with 1 biller before switching to SDW. Our claims are now being billed much faster which of course makes reimbursement quicker. We requested some guidance with documentation training and SDW was more than accommodating and sent a representative to our department to train our staff.

Fire Chief, AK, Fire Dept

Even though we are a very small volunteer service, I feel as though we receive the same attention as much larger customers. You are very attentive to our needs and requests. Their service is unbeatable. You response to requests in a timely manner, which is always appreciated. The onboarding process was very thorough, which set us up for success. We are very satisfied with the collection efforts, and appreciate suggestions on how we can improve operations to maximize reimbursements. 

Phillip

Agency Director, WA, EMS District

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent customer service, experts in handholding. I was not familiar with ambulance billing, and staff that were familiar with no longer available. SDW staff have helped me learn and have been incredibly patient with me. SDW staff provided onsite training for our staff on billing and board members on reports. The documentation is understandable. SDW staff are amazing! I really don’t think they can enhance the experience. 

Trish

Office Manager, OR, Fire District

Better charting practices, increased revenue and better under. They are quick to communicate with you and are very helpful. We updated old policies/practices for billing rules, they educated how to write appropriate charts for billing and relayed knowledge of charting and insurance practices. They do great with ongoing communication and education if needed.

Very kind staff, supportive, and easy to contact. We appreciate the flexibility and responsiveness. SDW has helped with all MVC and AMB billing – providing professionalism and experience. 

Executive Aide, WA, Fire District

We finally made the switch from our local billing company over to SDW in 2017 after an airport conversation with another agency administrator waiting on our flights. Looking back over the past years we couldn’t be happier, with this by far, being the best decision our company has made. In the first year alone we cut our billing fees in half from the previous billers putting over 20K back into the budget for other uses. We greatly appreciate our billing company being 100% customer focused, constantly striving to assure all of our company billing needs are met at the highest level.

When calling in to give or get information the answering party is always courteous and will go out of her way to assist us in what we need. Your staff is competent and confident in their ability to handle our accounts and patients, and always with a smile.
