Our History
MCA was established in 1986, when privately-owned ambulance services were just beginning operations in our region and volunteer agencies were not billing. After seeing the resources provided to the private companies, volunteer agencies became interested in billing. MCA was instrumental in helping volunteer squads through the transition to charging for their services.
Despite the volunteers’ fears, the public supported the change. New equipment was purchased, new buildings were built and volunteers were eventually paid for their time. It was a win-win situation. As a result, Kentucky Medicare asked us to develop a mutual aid system for the state, and so, MCA was born.

This is where my suggestion on the customer service survey was referring to as far as having one team (processor/upfront/auditor) per geographical region to provide familiarity for squads when there are discussions among themselves. They all can identify with the same person/team and all be told the same information consistently and have a more personal relationship with MCA.
