The agency published the first Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT) Billing Guide on May 1.

What is GEMT?

GEMT allows publicly owned or operated emergency ground ambulance transportation providers to receive supplemental payments that cover the difference between a provider’s actual costs per GEMT transport and the Medicaid base payment, mileage, and other sources of reimbursement.

For more information, see the May 1, 2019, publication of the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Billing Guide. Go to Ambulance and Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA) Transportation and select Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Billing Guide from the drop-down menu.
