How to Avoid 837I Ambulance
Rejections






Institutional ambulance claims with dates of service on or after April 1,
2012.
Only non-emergency trips (i.e., Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
(HCPCS) codes A0426, A0428 (when A0428 is billed without modifier QL))
require a National Provider Identifier (NPI) in the Attending Physician field.
The inappropriate use of the Attending Physician is not required for emergency
trips and may cause claims to fail in EDI prepass editing (i.e., HCPCS codes
A0427, A0429, A0430, A0431, A0432, A0433, A0434, and A0428 (when A0428 is
billed with the modifier QL)).
For claims with dates of service on or after April 1, 2012, Medicare will assure
that only non-emergency trips (i.e., HCPCS A0426, A0428 (when A0428 is billed
without modifier QL)) require an NPI in the Attending Physician field. Emergency
trips on Institutional claims
A non-scheduled transportation claim shall not include 2310A NM1 data. (277CA
response A7:732:560:71)
