Quick Med Claims

What Quick Med Claims does

Quick Med Claims, LLC (QMC) is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based provider of outsourced emergency medical transportation billing and revenue cycle management services, founded in 1991. The company serves municipalities, hospitals, and private ambulance operators across the United States, processing both ground EMS and air medical transport claims. QMC operates a full-service managed-services model in which it assumes responsibility for the end-to-end EMS revenue cycle, including claims submission, payment posting, denial management, payer enrollment, compliance support, and patient customer service, with pricing negotiated on a per-client quote basis rather than through publicly disclosed rates.

QMC's technology stack centers on a proprietary cloud-based EMS billing and business intelligence platform with deep integration into client systems (ePCR, CAD, EHR, HIS) and government and private payer networks. In December 2023, the company launched Q-Vert, a proprietary claims processing platform purpose-built for EMS claims conversion and throughput. Supporting product modules include a Client Access Portal for real-time financial and operational reporting, a Patient Access Portal for inquiries and payments, Early Out Services for accounts-recovery, Compliance Services, Billing & Reimbursement Services, and formal Client Education Programs. The company also produces the Board and Collar podcast series and operates an industry blog as top-of-funnel thought-leadership channels.

QMC was acquired by Digitech Computer LLC in 2024 and now operates as part of Digitech's EMS billing portfolio; Digitech is itself a subsidiary of Sarnova, Inc. Historical capital activity includes funding rounds in 2015 (Five Points Capital) and 2018 (GreyLion Capital), and the 2015 acquisition of MedServ International. The leadership team is led by CEO S. Mark Talley, with EVP of External Affairs Ed Marasco (40+ years in the medical transport community) and Sales Manager Jeff Kelly (20+ years of EMS experience). Named customers include Charlottesville Fire Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, Memphis Fire Department, LifeLine Ambulance, City of Orem, Grady Health System, South Metro Fire Rescue, Baltimore City Fire, and Plano Fire-Rescue.
