Ambulance fraud is a major category of medicare/medicaid spending, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in inappropriate billing each year to the American taxpayers.

Common Types of Transportation Services Fraud Include:
1) Billing Medicare for medically unnecessary routine transports of dialysis patients, radiology services, or radiation treatment for cancer.
2) Upcoding the level of ambulance transport that was provided. For example, upcoding Basic Life Support transport to Advanced Life Support transport to get more money from medicare.
3) Charging for supplies and services that were not actually provided to patients in the ambulance, such as oxygen and cardiac monitoring.
4) Deals between hospitals and ambulance companies: In these "swapping arrangements," ambulance companies agree to provide low cost ambulance services in exchange for repeated referrals of non-emergency discharge patients for ambulance transports billable to medicare.
5) Billing medicare or medicaid for stretcher ambulance services when patients can walk is fraud. These services can cost $250/$300 per trip, patients transported by wheelchair are billed at less than $50. Unethical companies and transport services systematically defraud the medicare system by fraudulently billing medicare the stretcher transport rate for patients that can walk.
