CMS requires ambulance operators receive approval to transport non emergency patients before the trip starts. A signature from the physician is no longer a testimony enough for qualifying patients for stretcher transportation.

How patients are accepted in healthcare facilities have completely changed. There is constant cooperation needed between physician, facility as well as ambulance service provider to collect all the needed documents for Medicare approvals.

Specific information is needed in:

• Mobility (is the patient capable of sitting in a chair?)
• Wounds and wound care
• Oxygenation (with titration of oxygen rates and delivery method)
• Pain scales
• Interventions and post intervention assessments
