Air Ambulance Data Report Instructions – Providers of Air
Ambulance Services
Background & Purpose
Section 106(a) of the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, requires providers of air ambulance
services to submit data on air ambulance services to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Transportation (the
Secretaries). The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed implementing regulations at 45 CFR part 149. The Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) is collecting these air ambulance data on behalf of the Secretaries.
These are the Instructions for the Air Ambulance Data Report (AA Report). The purpose of this document is to provide instructions and definitions for
submission of the required air ambulance data to CMS. The required data elements are described in the proposed 45 CFR 149.460. These
Instructions provide information on the organizational responsibility for reporting, the deadlines and reference period for the data submission,
definitions, instructions for the specific data fields, and the submission process.

Applicability of Reporting Requirements
These reporting requirements apply to all providers of air ambulance services subject to section 106 of the No Surprises Act. A provider of air
ambulance services means an entity that is licensed under applicable State and Federal law to provide air ambulance services. 1 An air ambulance
service means a medical transport by a rotary-wing air ambulance, as defined in 42 CFR 414.605, or fixed-wing air ambulance, as defined in 42 CFR
414.605. The responsible entity may engage a third party to submit the air ambulance data on their behalf. We refer to the entity that submits the
data to CMS as the submitting entity.
The primary basis for reporting is at the National Provider Identifier (NPI) level. The responsible entity is the organization corresponding to the NPI.
For example, if the responsible entity is a not-for-profit health care organization associated with the NPI, and provides air medical staff, supplies, and
services but contracts with a separate for-profit organization for air medical transportation services, the health care organization is responsible for
the submission of the air ambulance data to CMS.
This includes municipality-sponsored providers, the tribally-operated program in Alaska, and public agency programs that provide on-demand air ambulance
services regionally, pursuant to the Federal Aviation Regulation 14 CFR parts 119 and 135.

Deadlines and Reference Period for Data Submission
The AA Report reflecting the data for the 2022 calendar year reporting period must be submitted to CMS by March 31, 2023. The AA Report
reflecting the data for the 2023 calendar year reporting period must be submitted to CMS by March 30, 2024. The AA Report must include data
relevant to air ambulance services furnished within the reporting period, as well as data relevant to air ambulance services with payment dates that
fall within the reporting period.

Submission Process
The data collection system for air ambulance data is under development. CMS will update both the information collection section of the rule
and these instructions, as well as provide additional guidance regarding the submission process, once the technical development of the data
collection system has been completed.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0938-XXXX. The time required to
complete this information collection is estimated to average 147 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, to make IT changes to
collect, consolidate and report the required information, in the required format, to HHS. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time
estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: CMS, 7500 Security Boulevard, Attn: PRA Reports Clearance Officer, Mail Stop
C4-26-05, Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850.

Labor Costs
This section collects information about the labor costs associated with the air ambulance base, as well as associated with the regional
and corporate offices, if any. Please include information related to all NPIs associated with this base.

Response Staff

Report information about Response staff (including full- and part-time) at this base, including:
• Annual compensation for all paid response staff by category
• Total hours worked annually by paid response staff by category, including hours for activities other than air ambulance services
Please review the following instructions:
• If operational costs are shared with another entity, then include only paid response staff who had responsibilities that
were either partly or entirely related to the air ambulance base, including frontline staff responding to air ambulance calls.
• If operational costs are shared with another entity, then do not include individuals with only non-air ambulance
responsibilities (for example, firefighters who are not EMT or response staff).
• If this base operates a ground ambulance service, then do not include individuals who had only ground ambulance
responsibilities.
• Report paid staff with primary response responsibilities in the appropriate response category and not in any other
category. For example, response staff who had supervisory or administration/facilities responsibilities in the response
staff category, and do not also count these staff in the administration/facilities category. In this example, a pilot with
vehicle maintenance responsibilities should be included in the pilot category but not in the vehicle maintenance
category.
• Include medical directors in the administrative/facility category and not in the response physicians category unless they
primarily have response responsibilities.
• In the administrative staff category, include clerical, HR, billing, and IT support.
• Benefits include but are not limited to life insurance, vacation and holiday time off, medical and dental coverage, shortand long-term disability, and retirement contributions (such as pension or 401(k)).
• If labor is provided through contracts with third-party vendors, report these costs in the Vendor section or for Aviation
contracts under the Vehicle Costs section and provide comments in the Comments section.
For Annual Compensation
• Report labor costs for each of the following cost categories (salaries/wages, incentive compensation, benefits, workers
compensation, payroll taxes (FICA), and other costs) for paid staff in each of the response staff categories in the table
below.
• If one or more components of compensation costs (e.g., benefits) were paid by another entity with which you had a

business relationship (e.g., a county or municipality that you serve), obtain and include these costs when you report labor
costs. If only total costs in a category are available from another entity (e.g., total benefits costs across all staff), allocate to
labor categories based on salary or wages across labor categories. For example, if total benefits were $60,000, one-third of
salary and wages was for Paramedic(s) and two-thirds of salary and wages was for Nurse(s), then $20,000 ($60,000
multiplied by one-third) would contribute to total compensation for Paramedic(s) and $40,000 ($60,000 multiplied by twothirds) would contribute to total compensation for Nurse(s).
For Total Hours Worked Annually
• Please report total hours worked by paid response staff (including full- and part-time staff) in each category annually. For
example, if your organization has two paid paramedics who both work 2,000 hours annually (i.e., full time at 40 hours a
week for 50 weeks), and two paid paramedics who each work 1,250 hours annually (i.e., part time at 25 hours a week for 50
weeks), the reported hours would sum to: 2,000 + 2,000 + 1,250 + 1,250 = 6,500 hours for paramedics.
• Report total hours worked, on air ambulance activities only, by paid staff with some or entirely air ambulance
responsibilities. As an example, for a paid firefighter/paramedic who worked 2,000 hours annually (i.e., full time at 40
hours a week for 50 weeks) across fire and air ambulance operations, report the share of hours related to air ambulance
services.
• Do not include paid or unpaid time off (e.g., vacation, sick leave, etc.) or hours spent on fundraising when reporting total
hours worked annually.
• If this base operates a ground ambulance service, do not include hours dedicated to ground ambulance activities.
• Include only staff whose roles are with your base. If staff are employed as paramedics with your base and as
firefighters for another organization, include only the paramedic hours for your base.

Administration and Facilities Staff
Please review the following instructions before completing the table below.

•

Report individuals with any air ambulance response responsibilities in the appropriate response category and not in
the administration/facilities category. Please do not report costs for response staff in the administration/facilities staff
categories even if they sometimes perform administration/facilities duties. For example, a pilot with vehicle
maintenance responsibilities would contribute to the appropriate response category but not to the vehicle
maintenance category. For administration/facilities staff with multiple roles, assign each individual to a category
indicating the individual’s primary activity. For example, if an individual performed primarily management duties but
also had billing or pre-billing duties, include the individual in the management category.

•

For the base level rows, include only paid administration/facilities staff who had responsibilities that were either partly
or entirely related to your air ambulance base.
o If operational costs are shared with another entity, then do not include individuals with only non-air ambulance

•
•

responsibilities (for example, firefighters who do not have air ambulance management responsibilities).
o If this base operates a ground ambulance service, then do not include individuals who had only ground
ambulance responsibilities.
Costs borne at the regional and corporate levels should be pro-rated across all bases operated by your organization.
Report Regional and Corporate Level labor costs in this section if accounted for separately; otherwise report in the
Overhead Costs section and describe in the Comments section.

Facility Costs

This section collects information about the facilities costs associated with this air ambulance base as well as with the regional and corporate offices.
Please review the following instructions:
• In the base level table, include information related to all NPIs associated with this base.
• In the base level table, report the allocated portion of lease or ownership facilities costs incurred at the level of your parent
organization/central or regional office (e.g., corporate or regional buildings, garages or service facilities serving multiple bases) but located at
this base location using your organization’s approach for allocating annual costs to specific bases. Please describe your approach for
allocating these facilities costs across air ambulance bases in the Comments section.
• In the regional and corporate columns, report costs related to facilities used at the regional and corporate levels respectively.
• Include costs paid by another organization or entity on your organization’s behalf.
• Include costs for facilities that were partially related to ground ambulance operations, if applicable. Do not include costs for facilities that are
solely used for ground ambulance operations.
• Exclude donations or exceptions for which there was no cost.
• Do not report depreciation if your organization does not capitalize facilities for accounting purposes. Please make a note of this in the
Comments from Providers section.

Vehicle Costs
This section collects information about the vehicle costs for vehicles located and used at the air ambulance base as well as about the vehicle costs for
the regional and corporate offices.
Please review the following instructions:
• Include information related to all NPIs associated with this base.
• For owned vehicles, do not report depreciation if your organization accounts for vehicles on a cash basis.
• If aviation services are outsourced, include costs of outsourcing under Aviation Vendor Fees and provide detailed information in the
Comments section on what is covered by the vendor (e.g., all vehicle maintenance, including labor, parts and supplies).
• If your organization calculates depreciation expense for multiple purposes (e.g. depreciation for tax incentive purposes vs. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) for standard auditing purposes), report the depreciation expense captured for standard auditing purposes.
Please note the method used to calculate depreciation expense in the Comments section.
• To the extent that parts or maintenance is specific to an air ambulance vehicle, report per associated vehicle. Otherwise, provide total cost of
maintenance equipment across all vehicles in Total column. Do not include any in-house labor costs already included in the labor section or
any outside service or contract costs reported under Aviation Vendor Fees.
• For each piece of capital medical equipment on the air ambulance include total costs including depreciation, maintenance, certification, and
service costs.
• Provide a description of the capital medical equipment in the Comments section.
• In the regional/corporate columns, report the allocated portion of non-air ambulance vehicle costs incurred at the level of the parent
organization/central or regional office but used and located at this base using your organization’s approach for allocating costs to specific
bases. Describe the cost allocation method in the Comments section.
o If you do not allocate non-air ambulance vehicle costs, report in the Regional and Corporate column.

Equipment, Consumable, and Supplies Costs
This section collects information on equipment, consumables, and supply costs.
• Use your organization’s guidelines to categorize goods as capital expenses versus operation expenses and report
depreciation.
• Do not report depreciation if your organization uses a cash basis for accounting.
• Do not include medical equipment that is installed in the air ambulance and reported under vehicle costs in
this section. Include costs of medications, medical equipment, supplies and consumables (such as gauze,
gloves, bandages, basins, oxygen, sterile water, stethoscopes, blood pressure cuFee-for-Service, IV supplies,
etc.) in the appropriate row.
• Capital medical equipment refers to equipment that can endure repeated use; it includes, but is not limited
to, defibrillators, ventilators, monitors, and power lifts.
• For capital expenditures, medical and non-medical equipment, most organizations will amortize costs over
the life of the good.
• For capital expenditures (medical and non-medical equipment), report annual depreciation expenses. If your
organization calculates depreciation expense for multiple purposes (e.g. depreciation for tax incentive
purposes vs. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for standard auditing purposes), report the
depreciation expense captured for standard auditing purposes. Describe the method used to calculate
depreciation expense in the Comments section.
• For leased capital goods and medical and non-medical equipment, the annual cost is the annual lease expenditures for
the piece of equipment.
• For all of the cost categories: if you have an ongoing relationship with an organization that pays this cost for your
organization, report the cost here.
• Do not include costs for donated items.
• Do not include costs for equipment, consumables or supplies used on ground ambulances.
• Report the allocated portion of non-medical equipment and supply expenses incurred at the level of the parent
organization/central office and used at this base using your organization’s approach for allocating costs to specific
bases. Describe the cost allocation method in the Comments section.
• Do not include any “central office equipment” that serves multiple NPIs, except for where specifically requested.
These amounts should be reported in the regional/corporate-level columns.
