Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT)
Participating physician groups (PPGs) and hospitals must submit a list of their contracted ground emergency medical transportation (GEMT) providers annually. This applies to Medi-Cal providers contracted under a global and dual risk arrangement.
The list is due annually no later than March 31.
The list will help identify non-contracted GEMT providers for automated payments that meet the requirements under the Department of Health Care Services’ Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transport (PP-GEMT) and GEMT quality assurance fee (QAF) programs.
At a minimum, include the following information on the list:
- Provider name.

- GEMT provider name.
- GEMT National Provider Identifier (NPI) number.
PPGs and hospitals can send their list to their assigned Provider Relations & Contracting Specialist (PRCS).
