SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT FOR PUBLICLY OWNED OR OPERATED EMERGENCY
MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS
B. Supplemental Payment Methodology
Supplemental payments provided by this program to an eligible PEMT entity will consist
of FFP for Medicaid uncompensated emergency medical transportation costs based on
the difference between the Medicaid reimbursement amount and the providers actual
cost for providing emergency medical transportation services to eligible Medicaid
beneficiaries. The supplemental payment methodology is as follows:
1. As described in Section D, the expenditures certified by the eligible PEMT entity to
AHCA will represent the payment eligible for FFP. Allowable certified public
expenditures will determine the amount of FFP claimed.
2. In no instance will the amount certified pursuant to Paragraph D.1, when combined
with the amount received for emergency medical transportation services pursuant to
any other provision of this State Plan or any Medicaid waiver granted by CMS,
exceed 100 percent of the allowable costs for such emergency medical
transportation services.
3. Pursuant to Paragraph D.1, the eligible PEMT entity will annually certify to AHCA the
total costs for providing emergency medical transportation services for Medicaid
beneficiaries offset by the received Medicaid payments for the previous state fiscal
year. The supplemental Medicaid reimbursement received pursuant to this segment
of the State Plan will be distributed in one annual lump-sum payment after
submission of such annual certification.
4. For the subject year, the emergency medical transportation service costs that are
certified pursuant to Paragraph D.1 will be computed in a manner consistent with
Medicaid cost principles regarding allowable costs, and will only include costs that
satisfy applicable Medicaid requirements.
5. Computation of allowable costs and their allocation methodology must be determined
in accordance with the CMS Provider Reimbursement Manual (CMS Pub. 15-1),
CMS non-institutional reimbursement policies, and OMB Circular A-87, which
establish principles and standards for determining allowable costs and the
methodology for allocating and apportioning those expenses to the Medicaid
program, except as expressly modified below.
6. Medicaid base payments to the PEMT providers for providing PEMT services are
derived from the Medical Transportation fee-schedule established for
reimbursements payable by the Medicaid program by procedure code. The base
payments for these eligible PEMT providers are fee-for-service (FFS) payments.
The primary source of paid claims data and other Medicaid reimbursements is the
Florida Medicaid Management Information System (FLMMIS). The number of paid

MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS
Medicaid FFS PEMT transports is derived from and supported by the FLMMIS
reports for services during the applicable service period.
7. For each eligible PEMT provider in this supplemental program, the total
uncompensated care costs available for reimbursement will be no greater than the
shortfall resulting from the allowable costs calculated using the Cost Determination
Protocols (Section C.). Each eligible PEMT provider must provide PEMT services to
Medicaid beneficiaries in excess of payments made from the Medicaid program and
all other sources of reimbursement for such PEMT services provided to Medicaid
beneficiaries. Eligible PEMT providers that do not have any uncompensated care
costs will not receive a supplemental payment under this supplemental
reimbursement program.
C. Cost Determination Protocols
1. An eligible PEMT provider's specific allowable cost per-medical transport rate will be
calculated based on the provider's audited financial data reported on the CMS-
approved cost report. The per-medical transport cost rate will be the sum of actual
allowable direct and indirect costs of providing medical transport services divided by
the actual number of medical transports provided for the applicable service period.
a. Direct costs for providing medical transport services include only the
unallocated payroll costs and fringe benefits for the shifts in which personnel
dedicate 100 percent of their time to providing medical transport services,
medical equipment and supplies, and other costs directly related to the
delivery of covered services, such as first-line supervision, materials and
supplies, professional and contracted services, capital outlay, travel, and
training. These costs must be in compliance with Medicaid non-institutional
reimbursement policy and are directly attributable to the provision of the
medical transport services.
b. Shared direct costs for emergency medical transport services, as defined by
Paragraph A.5., must be allocated for salaries and benefits and capital
outlay. The salaries and benefits will be allocated based on the percentage
of total hours logged performing EMT activities versus other activities. The
capital related costs will be allocated based on the percentage of total square
footage.
c. Indirect costs are determined by applying the cognizant agency specific
approved indirect cost rate to its total direct costs (Paragraph A.1.) or derived
from provider's approved cost allocation plan. For eligible PEMT providers
that do not have a cognizant agency approved indirect cost rate or approved
cost allocation plan, the costs and related basis used to determine the
allocated indirect costs must be in compliance with OMB Circular A-87,

Medicare Cost Principle (42 CFR 413 and Medicare Provider Reimbursement
Manual Part 1 and Part 2), and Medicaid non-institutional reimbursement
policy.
d. The PEMT provider specific per-medical transport cost rate is calculated by
dividing the total net medical transport allowable costs (Paragraphs A.1. and
A.2.) of the specific provider by the total number of medical transports as
reported in the transportation daily logs provided by the PEMT provider for
the applicable service period.
2. Medicaid's portion of the total allowable cost for providing PEMT services by each
eligible PEMT provider is calculated by multiplying the total number of Medicaid FFS
PEMT transports provided by the PEMT provider's specific per-medical transport
cost rate (Paragraph C.1.d.)for the applicable service period.
D. Responsibilities and Reporting Requirements of the Eligible PEMT Entity
An eligible PEMT entity must do all of the following:
1. Certify that the claimed expenditures for emergency medical transportation services
made by the eligible PEMT entity are eligible for FFP.
2. Provide evidence supporting the certification as specified by AHCA.
3. Submit data as specified by AHCA to determine the appropriate amounts to claim as
qualifying expenditures for FFP through the CMS approved cost report and cost
identification methodology.
4. Keep, maintain, and have readily retrievable any records required by AHCA or CMS.
E. AHCA's Responsibilities
1. AHCA will submit claims for FFP for the expenditures for services that are allowable
expenditures under federal law.
2. AHCA will, on an annual basis, submit to the federal government any necessary
materials, including but not limited to the CMS approved cost report, in order to
provide assurances that FFP will include only those expenditures that are allowable
under federal law.
F. Interim Supplemental Payment
1. AHCA will make annual interim Medicaid supplemental payments to eligible PEMT
providers. The interim supplemental payments for each provider are based on the

provider's completed annual cost report in the format prescribed by AHCA and
approved by CMS for the applicable cost reporting year. AHCA will make
adjustments to the as-filed cost report based on the results of the most recently
retrieved FLMMIS report.
2. Each eligible PEMT provider must compute the annual cost in accordance with the
Cost Determination Protocols (Section C.) and must submit the completed annual
as-filed cost report to AHCA five months after the close of the SFY.
3. The interim supplemental payment is calculated by subtracting the total Medicaid
base payments (Paragraph B.6.) and other payments, such as Medicaid co-
payments, received by the providers for PEMT services to Medicaid beneficiaries
from the Medicaid portion of the total PEMT allowable costs(Paragraph C.2.)
reported in the as-filed cost report or the as-filed cost report adjusted by AHCA
(Paragraph F.1.).
G. Final Reconciliation
1. Providers must submit auditable documentation to AHCA within two years following
the end of the state fiscal year in which payments have been received. AHCA will
perform a final reconciliation where it will settle the provider's annual cost report as
audited, three years following the State fiscal year end.AHCA will compute the net
Medicaid PEMT allowable cost using audited per-medical transport cost, and the
number of Medicaid FFS PEMT transports data from the updated FLMMIS reports.
Actual net Medicaid allowable cost will be compared to the total base and interim
supplemental payments and settlement payments made, and any other source of
reimbursement received by the provider for the period.
2. If at the end of the final reconciliation it is determined that the PEMT provider has
been overpaid, the provider will return the overpayment to AHCA, and AHCA will
return the overpayment to the federal government pursuant to 42 CFR 433.316. If at
the end of the final reconciliation it is determined that the PEMT provider has been
underpaid, the PEMT provider will receive a final supplemental payment in the
amount of the underpayment.
3. All cost report information for which Medicaid payments are calculated and
reconciled are subject to CMS review and must be furnished upon request.
