The Elevance Health Policy Institute Report: Emergency Ground Ambulance Costs – Trends and Policy Implications examines commercial reimbursement for emergency ground ambulance services and concludes that in-network payments average 161% of Medicare, a benchmark that could influence future discussions surrounding ambulance reimbursement, commercial payer policy, and state balance billing legislation.

To help EMS leaders evaluate the report's findings, PWW Advisory Group developed companion resources, including a detailed report summary, executive summary, and practical talking points. Together, these resources provide valuable context and data-driven insights to support reimbursement strategy, policy discussions, and EMS advocacy efforts.
