Sound the Alarm: The Medicare Cost Survey is in Full Force
This is not a drill…we repeat, this is not a drill! The Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services has launched a mandatory program that impacts all emergency transport providers. The Medicare Ground Ambulance Data Collection System is a result of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, in which all providers of ground ambulance services are required to collect and report on organizational data such as utilization, staffing, costs, and revenue for a full 12-month consecutive period. Half of all providers have already begun their collection period while the remaining half will be required to start in 2023.
