One may well question the need to be aware of the
difference between Emergency and Non-Emergency
Ambulance Transportation. But the need to know
this is necessary when it affects billing,
especially since Medicare has tightened rules
about the usage of ambulance services, to combat
financial fraud, and more so for three states
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and South Carolina.
Medical Billers and Coders are so familiar with
applicable Medicare and insurance regulations of
ambulance transport services. However,
physicians in other states too need to be aware
of the differences, especially when billing, so
as not to affect their Revenue Cycle Management
process which could have consequences on their
financial status. Once these differences have
been noted, and the criteria of Medical
necessity are taken into account, then billing
makes it much easier and avoidance of decrease in
revenue can be easily averted.
