Submit Comments on Proposed Rule to CY2016 Fee Schedule Changes
On July 8, 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a copy of its proposed rule for changes to the Medicare ambulance fee schedule for 2016. The AAA has drafted a comment letter requesting that CMS make several modifications to improve the methodology and data used for determining urban and rural areas under the fee schedule. We urge all AAA members to use our letter as a template to submit a similar comment letter to CMS.
Here is how to submit a comment letter.
1) Download the draft template of the AAA comment letter.
2) Modify the letter in the highlighted areas to customize it to your organization.
3) Submit the comment letter by going to the Regulations.gov submissions webpage for the proposed rule at http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=CMS-2015-0081-0002
If you have any questions about submitting a comment letter, please contact AAA Senior Vice President Tristan North at tnorth@ambulance.org
