During this call, CMS will cover approaches to allocate expenses and revenue for the purposes of reporting information to the Medicare Ground Ambulance Data Collection System (GADCS). While everyone is welcome to listen in and participate, this session will be most relevant to ground ambulance organizations that are: fire, police, and other public safety department-based; operated by municipal governments; Medicare providers of services (e.g., hospitals); operated by a broader “parent organization” billing under multiple National Provider IDs (NPIs); and provide other services (e.g., non-medical transport, community paramedicine, air ambulance, other medical services, etc.).
A question-and-answer session will follow this presentation. You may send questions in advance to [email protected] with “July 21 Allocation Webinar” in the subject line. We intend to answer questions submitted in advance during the call and participants may also submit live questions using the “Q&A” button at the bottom of your Zoom screen.
For more information, including the list of ground ambulance organizations selected to collect and report information starting in 2022, see the Ambulances Services Center webpage, the CY 2022 PFS Final Rule, the CY 2020 PFS final rule, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
