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.
Providers with questions may contact Carol Akin, at carol.akin@medicaid.alabama.gov or 334-242-5580.
