The EMS industry is struggling harder than ever to ensure we can continue to serve our communities with vital ground ambulance services. The pandemic has heightened difficult problems we have long been facing, now making them unmanageable. Chronic below-cost Medicare reimbursement, increased costs, and workforce shortages have come to a head. If the Congress does not act soon, all Medicare providers and suppliers will see another 4% cut in Medicare reimbursement due to sequestration. The AAA has been advocating tirelessly to help our members address these issues, but we need you to reach out to your Senators and Representatives if Congress is to act.
