- Authors
Munjal, Kevin G.; Margolis, Gregg S.; Kellermann, Arthur L.
- Abstract
This Viewpoint reviews Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) model, a voluntary payment model that will reimburse emergency medical service (EMS) agencies for handling 911 calls with non–emergency department dispositions including on-scene or telemedicine treatment and transport to alternative sites (urgent care clinics, physician offices, behavioral health centers), and outlines the patient safety, quality, and regulatory issues that must be addressed for the concept to move from demonstration project to established policy.
