• a compliance filter in communication with the medical emergency database, wherein the compliance filter is configured to:
• use a specific library of modifiable data rules to ensure that data in the medical emergency database for a current encounter is consistent with a high risk compliance area, wherein checking to ensure consistency is based on data selected from the group consisting of the medical status of the patient, the location of the clinical encounter, and combinations thereof, and
• prompt for correction of the data where the data is not consistent;
• and
• a billing module in communication with the medical emergency database, the billing module receiving corrected data from the compliance filter, and the billing module being configured to generate a bill based at least in part on the corrected data.
