The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
EMS is heavily regulated, state licensure, CAAS accreditation, HIPAA, DEA rules, Medicare requirements, and agencies struggle to keep up, especially smaller ones without compliance staff. A specialist who guides accreditation and keeps agencies audit-ready fills a real need and reduces serious risk for the client. The depth of EMS-specific regulation is the barrier that makes this a defensible advisory niche rather than generic healthcare compliance.
