The rules state that hospital bundling rules exclude payment to independent suppliers of ambulance services for 
beneficiaries in a hospital inpatient stay. The Common Working File (CWF) performs reject edits to incoming 
claims from independent suppliers of ambulance services. The CWF searches paid claim history and compares 
the line item service date on an ambulance claim to the admission and discharge dates on a hospital inpatient 
stay. The CWF rejects the line item when the ambulance line item service date falls within the admission and 
discharge dates on a hospital inpatient claim. 
 
The CWF performs an additional edit before determining if the ambulance line item should be rejected when 
the beneficiary is an inpatient of a long term care facility (LTCH), inpatient psychiatric facility (IPF) or 
inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) and is transported via ambulance to an acute care hospital to receive 
specialized services. The CWF edits the claim for the presence of occurrence span code 74 (non-covered level 
of care) and the associated occurrence span code from and through dates. The CWF bypasses the reject edit 
when the ambulance line item service date falls within the occurrence span code 74 from and through dates 
plus one day.
