The Medicare ambulance fee schedule will be increased by a 1.0% inflation adjustment for 2014, CMS announced in a recent transmittal.  This update reflects a 1.8% increase in the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U), which is partially offset by a -0.8% multi-factor productivity adjustment mandated by the ACA. The 2014 ambulance fee schedule file is expected to be posted next month.
