CMS Open Door Forum
Ground Ambulance Providers and Suppliers: Data Collection System Listening Session
Thursday, June 28, 2018
From 1:30 to 3 pm ET
Register for Medicare Learning Network events.
Section 50203(b) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 requires the development of a data collection system (which may include use of a cost survey) to collect cost, revenue, utilization, and other information on providers and suppliers of ground ambulance services. The system must collect information:
Needed to evaluate the extent to which reported costs relate to payment rates
On the utilization of capital equipment and ambulance capacity
On different types of ground ambulance services furnished in different geographic locations, including rural and super rural areas
This listening session is an opportunity to provide input on the development of this system, including:
Recommendations on the data elements that CMS should collect
Identifying costs that would be difficult to define and report and why
Addressing the potential that there is a variation of costs among organizations that provide ambulance services
Other comments on the provision that CMS should consider
Target Audience: Ground ambulance providers and suppliers, as well as ambulance stakeholders.
