Action Required
Immediately: Non-emergency ambulance providers must ensure complete medical necessity documentation is maintained for all transports, clearly describing member condition to justify ambulance transport over other methods. Billing team must verify any patient payments are refunded before submitting claims to Connecticut Medicaid. All claims are subject to audit by Department of Social Services.
