Hospital Matching
Medic’s commitment to the delivery of excellent patient care begins from the time a call for
help is placed all the way through the billing process.
In addition to AIDET, another way to help in the delivery of excellent patient care is
through the process called Hospital Matching. Hospital Matching is the standard
electronic exchange of patient information between medical applications.
Currently, Medic can receive demographic and insurance information from any Carolinas
HealthCare System (CHS) or Presbyterian/Novant Health owned hospital.
Hospital Matching occurs through the collection of several important pieces of information
including:
Hospital Account Number
Patient Name
Date of Birth
Social Security Number
Date of Transport/Admission
Hospital Destination
While providing excellent patient care, the overall experience can become tainted if our
patients are billed incorrectly due to inaccurate information. Below are a few transport tips
to help ensure that the Medic experience remains positive for our patients:
Be sure to obtain the hospital account number for each transport
Remove the old hospital account number from Siren when using the lookup feature &
replace it with the new account number for that transport
For Hospital-to-Hospital Transports, please record the hospital account number from
the receiving facility
If the patient’s name is unknown and a trauma pack is used by the hospital, use the
trauma pack name instead of Joe Doe
If the hospital account number cannot be obtained, please be sure to collect an accurate
patient name, date of birth and social security number
For more information or questions about the Hospital Matching process, please contact
