EMS providers would need billing policies to qualify for state grants

Emergency care providers seeking state-funded EMS grants must certify that they maintain and follow a policy for billing third-party payors when appropriate. The policy covers regular claims for emergency and non-emergency medical services to Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurers, or another legally responsible third-party payor. The certification is required for eligibility for state-funded emergency medical services grant assistance administered by the department. The certification applies when a provider seeks eligibility for state-funded emergency medical services grant assistance.
