Ambulance Transport - Deceased Patient
Is any organization billing when appropriate when care is started when an ambulance or med flight is called? Has there been any PR issues or billing issues?

We bill all patients/insurances under the circumstances that CMS permits billing with the same claim elements that CMS permits/requires. We have had some initial denials, but no major issues. I think it helps that our frequency is very low.
@Andrew.Reiten Thank you for responding what codes do you bill in these scenarios?
@Andrew.Reiten Would you mind if I emailed you a couple operational questions? Mainly interested in what is the workflow for retrieving patient billing information in these cases.
