Something we need to analyze:
Should we get back in the transport business??
North State completes about 2,000+ billable transports annually in Franklin County. The average collection is about $400 per transport and that would be $800,000 in potential revenue.
It is recommended that we complete an in-house study to see if it would be feasible for us to get back in the transport business. We could add additional ambulances with no additional cost to the county and generate other much needed revenue.
