Jan-Care Ambulance Service

What Jan-Care Ambulance Service does

Jan-Care Ambulance Service is a private, family-owned emergency medical services (EMS) company headquartered in Beckley, West Virginia. Founded in 1970 by Rick Cornett, it has grown into the largest EMS provider in West Virginia, operating a fleet of more than 150 WV-OEMS certified emergency vehicles and employing over 430 people across 11 counties covering 5,700+ square miles. Jan-Care provides primary 911 response in 5 counties, responds to over 100,000 calls for help per year, drives over 6 million miles annually, and is equipped with an ICS-MCI mass casualty incident command system. Its customer base spans the general public, healthcare facilities, schools, and industrial clients, with disaster response credentials that include the 2001 World Trade Center deployment, Hurricane Katrina and Sandy relief, and the 2010 Upper Big Branch Mine disaster (86 employees and 28 vehicles deployed for 7 continuous days).

Jan-Care's core product is emergency and non-emergency medical transport, delivered through a direct-to-consumer/government 911 channel and a direct-to-healthcare-facility scheduled transport channel. The secondary product surface is Jan-Care Academy, an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center offering EMT (165-hour hybrid), paramedic (in partnership with Mountwest Community & Technical College), CPR, ACLS, PALS, PHTLS, Stop the Bleed, EMVO, and industrial CPR/first aid courses, issuing over 3,000 certification cards per year. Adjunct service lines include free community health screenings and high school football standby coverage for 12 schools across 6 counties. The company operates a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, Jan-Care Diversified, which handles medical billing and accounts receivable, providing vertical integration into revenue cycle management.

Jan-Care's revenue model is primarily transaction-fee based: per-transport billing to patients, insurance carriers, and government programs for emergency 911 response and inter-facility medical transport, complemented by professional-services fees for certification courses (CPR skills check-off $55, BLS $50–$75, ACLS $128–$130, PALS $130, PHTLS $128–$178, Stop the Bleed $30, industrial CPR $100/person). Supporting technology includes the Operative IQ operations platform (inventory, asset, controlled substance, fleet maintenance), osTicket support, ScreenConnect remote support, FieldData for field operations, myesched.com scheduling, Patient Notebook for billing, and an internal Employee Resource Center (ERC). As a private for-profit entity that explicitly states it serves without governmental or tax-based assistance, Jan-Care is governed by a family leadership team: Rick Cornett (President & CEO), J. Todd Cornett (Vice President), Rachel Cornett (Chief of Staff / Director of AR & Communications), and Paul Seamann (Director of Operations).
