Removal of PA requirements for non-emergency transportation

12/30/2008

To: Ambulance Providers

 

Effective February 1, 2009, prior authorization for ambulance transportation will no longer be required except for emergency and non-emergency trips that are 100 miles or greater one-way.

 

Monitoring of claims submission in ambulance transport usage will be performed monthly, and if there is an increase in utilization, then the PA requirements may be re-implemented.
