For those of you who have ambulances and bill, how do you plan to address the new "Fractional Mileage" policy from Medicare?
We have one Ford ambulance that does not read the tenths on the odometer and are discussing the ways to record this. Some option include using the trip meter which does record to the tenth, utilizing GPS (to time consuming?), or installing a Dispatch driven GPS unit (no idea of the costs).
It seems likely that going forward Ford will make the odometers read tenths as they do in many, but I wonder why given the huge number of Ford units in service, they can't write some computer code to modify the current units? It has been noted there are over 30,000 Ford ambulances that cannot read the tenths, so it would seem to be a fairly significant issue that will begin 1/1/11. Thoughts or comments?
