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.
