Purpose
The purpose of this rule amendment is to incorporate by reference the revised Florida Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Handbook, CMS-1500, February 2006. Effective February 10, 2006, ambulance and wheelchair/stretcher van providers billing on paper must use the CMS-1500 claim form instead of the Emergency Transportation 131 and Non-Emergency 131-A claim forms. The handbook was revised to include instructions for ambulance and wheelchair/stretcher van billing. In addition, we added instructions for the archive void and adjustment processing. The effect will be to incorporate the revised Florida Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Handbook, CMS-1500, February 2006, into rule.
