Brent Hatcher Bevevolent Fund is a way to "pass the hat" to make a donation anytime a member passes away. Obviously, passing the hat statewide is impractical and nearly impossible in a timely manner. Therefore, we "pass the hat" in advance and you pay in $20 annually so the money is ready to go if something happens. We then take the donation directly to the family within 48 hours or as some as possible dependent on their schedule. For more info and an application to join CLICK HERE

10% discount to OSFA members that utilize PCG services for the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Program.Prospective clients will be required to complete a client referral form to confirm the referral from OSFA. Prospective clients will complete the referral form and the client and/or OSFA shall submit the completed referral form to PCG. PCG shall keep record of referral forms and provide OSFA with copies of signed contracts with clients and regular updates of status of referrals.
An eligible referral can be the result of learning about PCG’s services through any of the forms of direct outreach described in the Statement of Work section. The client referral form, as designed by PCG and approved by OSFA, will also inform prospective clients of the opportunity to receive a discount in Medicaid cost reporting and supplemental payment consulting services with a membership to OSFA.
The preferred pricing for prospective clients that are OSFA members shall be 10% of the total fee. For example, a fee of 10% for a prospective client would be reduced to a fee of 9% with current membership to OSFA. Example: If your department recovered $100,000 annually with the program for EMS ground transport, PCG's normal fee would be $10,000 netting client $90,000 additional revenue for the year. As an OSFA member, that fee would be reduced to $9,000 netting the OSFA member client an additional $91,000 for the year.
