United New York Ambulance Network

Analysis of the Costs and Medicaid Payment Adequacy for Ground Ambulance Services in New York State
2025 Medicaid rates do not cover 2022 costs. The gap between cost and reimbursement continues to widen, placing our EMS and ambulance service providers in danger. Without immediate action to improve Medicaid reimbursement, New York risks losing critical ambulance capacity. Commercial providers cannot sustain year-over-year deficits when one-third of their workload is underpaid by Medicaid. This is not a matter of profit; it is about keeping ambulances available throughout the state of New York.
This is why the United NY Ambulance Network contracted with Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA) to conduct an independent study of the costs of delivering ground ambulance services in the state and the adequacy of payment for these critical services. Download the HMA report now!
About UNYAN
Comprised of small and large commercial ambulance providers, UNYAN began meeting in 1996 to discuss issues impacting the ambulance industry across New York State. UNYAN has since forged a common resolve to lead the industry toward providing reliable, cost effective approaches to high quality medical and emergency transportation services.
While we all seek to achieve the most efficient means of health care delivery available, concern for public health, safety and quality patient care must also involve the medical and emergency transportation environment. As patient advocates we need to ensure the safe, reliable and secure transportation of patients from one site of care to another.
UNYAN members provide both routine and emergency medical transportation services throughout New York State. They represent areas comprised of urban, rural and suburban communities. As leaders in the industry, our members are active participants in committees at the local, state, and national level that are involved in the governance of emergency medical care and medical transportation services.
