Overview

RULE:

59G-4.015	Emergency Transportation Services
59G-4.330	Non-Emergency Transportation Services

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to incorporate by reference the revised Florida Medicaid Ambulance Transportation Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, February 2006. Effective February 10, 2006, ambulance providers billing on paper must use the CMS-1500 claim form instead of the Emergency Transportation 131 and Non-Emergency 131-A claim forms. The handbook was revised to replace references to the Emergency Transportation 131 and Non-Emergency 131-A claim forms with references to the CMS-1500 claim form. 
Because Medicaid has separate handbooks for ambulance transportation services and non-emergency transportation services provided by other types of transportation vendors, Medicaid is promulgating a new rule for ambulance services and deleting the references to ambulance services from Rule 59G-4.330, F.A.C., Transportation Services.
The effect of promulgating Rule 59G-4.015, F.A.C., will be to incorporate the revised Florida Medicaid Ambulance Transportation Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, February 2006, into rule. 
The effect of the rule amendment to Rule 59G-4.330, F.A.C., will be to delete references to ambulance transportation services from the rule.

Ambulance Transportation Services.
