There are several ways to capture, and document loaded ambulance mileage, including:
- Odometer reading
- Trip odometer readings
- Global Positioning System (GPS)
- Navigation computers
- Mapping programs (e.g., MapQuest)
These are all acceptable forms of documentation and must be kept in the patient’s record and made available to Medicare upon request.
Note: Documentation must include the name and address of the origin and destination in the trip report completed by the ambulance supplier.
