Information for Data Submitters: Ambulance and Wheelchair Van Revenue Reports

Overview

The Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) is now collecting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Ambulance and Wheelchair Van Revenue Report from ambulance and wheelchair van providers. CHIA collects these reports on behalf of the Executive Office of Health and Human Service (EOHHS) pursuant to regulation 101 CMR 324.00.

What's New

• In previous years, providers were required to submit either a partial or full cost report depending on the revenue amount received from MassHealth. This year, providers are only required to fill out the partial cost report, which will be referred to as the “Revenue Report” moving forward. Providers are no longer required to submit financial statements with the Revenue Report.

Reminders

• All non-municipal ground ambulance providers providing services in Massachusetts in FY 2025 are required to submit the FY 2025 Ambulance Revenue Report no later than July 1, 2026.
  
  
• Tab 2 - Revenue: All Massachusetts ground ambulance revenue should be reported in this section, split out by advanced life support (ALS) emergency and non-emergency, and basic life support (BLS) emergency and non-emergency revenue. All revenue should be reported net of bad debt, charity care, and payer discounts.
