Unit 7 journal

As an EMS professional, you should know about the procedures for acquiring the reimbursement of funds after responding to an emergency call. It is also important to know where to find the information. Each state determines its own reimbursement procedures for EMS systems, and it is usually found within a document titled Medicare Ambulance Billing Manual, Ambulance Services Fee Schedule, or something similar. In this unit, we are researching the reimbursement details for a given state.

On the Internet, locate the reimbursement details for your state (or a state of your choosing), and read the manual. Then, share some interesting details about the requirements in that state—are there limitations, different levels of payments? What can you tell us about the requirements for an ambulance service to be paid? Do not forget to indicate which state (or country) you researched.

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
