Simon & Co. is delighted that today, we learned the FY22 omnibus includes report language to delay further implementation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s (CMMI) Repetitive Scheduled Non-Emergent Ambulance Transport (RSNAT) model. Report language is advisory only but it sends a strong message to CMMI.
Below is a copy of the RSNAT report language:
Transportation for Dialysis.-The agreement urges CMS to delay further implementation of the Prior Authorization of Repetitive, Scheduled Non-Emergent Ambulance Transport model until it ensures appropriate alternative transportation to dialysis services and diabetes-related wound care for low-income beneficiaries who have no other means of transportation.
On February 14, Simon & Co. coordinated a letter from nearly 60 advocacy and stakeholder organizations urging House and Senate leaders to add report language to the FY22 omnibus to delay further implementation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s (CMMI) Repetitive Scheduled Non-Emergent Ambulance Transport (RSNAT) model.
