The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has selected 205 applicants to test the program for five years.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the selection of 205 applicants to participate in the Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model, a new payment model that allows services to be reimbursed for non-hospital transports.
The program is designed to reduce costs to Medicare while allowing more flexibility for ambulance services to make transports to facilities such as urgent care centers, which are not reimbursed under the current model.
