UPDATE: Prior Authorization Is Coming

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is starting to test out the concept of prior authorization for repetitive scheduled non-emergent ambulance transports. This is in an effort to help ensure that all services are given in a compliant manner. This will not require any additional documentation – the already required documentation would just be given earlier on in the process.

For additional information and helpful documents on this topic, please see this CMS.gov article.
