Over the past 3 days our management and billing team attended the annual Executive Innovation Seminar & abc360 billing conference in Hershey, PA to stay updated on the newest trends in ambulance reimbursement, billing, patient privacy regulations, and compliance regulations. Attendees were also briefed on how the current federal government shutdown will have an immense negative impact on ambulance service claims reimbursement and the steps to take to ride out the storm. This is a highly anticipated conference each year and draws in attendees from all over the USA, ranging from the East Coast to the West Coast!

BREAKING: CMS has announced that it has directed its MACs to lift the hold on Medicare ambulance claims.

This means that claims with dates of service on or after 10/1/25 should be processed and paid (where covered) by Medicare.

However, our team is receiving multiple reports of claims being paid WITH the temporary add-on bonuses (2% urban, 3% rural and 22.6% super rural). Because the extenders expired on September 30th, CMS has no statutory authority to pay ambulance claims with the bonus amounts.

Until these issues come into sharper focus, we continue to recommend that ambulance services HOLD their Medicare claims until Congress acts on the ambulance extenders.

We will continue to follow the developments and will update you as timely as we can.
