Common HCPCS Codes for NEMT Billing
You will use HCPCS Level II codes when processing non-emergency medical transportation claims. Which one you use depends on several factors including what type of transportation, service, the payers requirements and your documentation.
| HCPCS Code | Description | Billing Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| A0100 | Non-emergency transportation by taxi | Verify the authorized transportation service and trip details. |
| A0110 | Non-emergency transportation by bus | Confirm the applicable transportation benefit and coverage. |
| A0120 | Non-emergency transportation by van | Document the transportation method and completed trip. |
| A0130 | Non-emergency transportation by wheelchair van | Verify wheelchair transportation requirements and documentation. |
| A0140 | Non-emergency transportation by private vehicle | Check payer-specific coverage and reporting instructions. |
| A0160 | Non-emergency transportation, other than ambulance | Confirm the service classification and applicable payer rules. |
| A0170 | Transportation-related parking expense | Retain supporting documentation when the expense is covered. |
| A0180 | Transportation-related lodging expense | Verify coverage and required supporting records. |
| A0190 | Transportation-related ancillary service | Check the applicable service description and billing requirements. |
| A0425 | Ground ambulance mileage, per statute mile | Use for eligible ambulance mileage, not ordinary NEMT van trips. |
| A0428 | Basic Life Support (BLS), non-emergency transport | Report only when the service meets ambulance billing requirements. |
These codes are examples of transportation-related HCPCS reporting. Not every code applies to every NEMT provider or payer. Rhode Island Medicaid NEMT claims are handled by the state’s transportation management authority, so providers must follow the applicable program and contract arrangements. Emergency ambulance billing follows separate requirements.

Key Challenges in NEMT Billing (and Our Solutions)
Incorrect HCPCS Codes and Transportation Classifications
Non-emergency medical transport companies will have a variety of transport types. Each may have specific coding requirements. If the transport isn’t categorized correctly, it can cause claims to be rejected. We can help ensure the service is correct and the right coding guidance is being used.
Missing Trip Records and Supporting Documentation
If there isn’t enough information about the pickup/drop off, mileage or inconsistent journey information this can impact your reimbursement. We can help ensure your transport documentation is organized and identify any missing information.
Payer Restrictions and Authorization Issues
Different payers will have different transport benefits, authorization requirements and coverage. If you don’t check what is available you may get unexpected denials. We can help ensure you have coverage and track the correct authorization information.
