CMS has released a proposed rule that could have significant long-term implications for Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT) reimbursement programs nationwide.

To help EMS leaders understand what's being proposed and what it could mean for their organizations, the PWW Advisory Group team has developed a dedicated toolkit featuring:

• A guide to key terms and concepts
• State GEMT program risk summaries
• A highlighted version of the proposed rule
• Advocacy talking points
• Editable comment letter templates for agencies and associations

As this proposal moves through the rulemaking process, PWW|AG will continue providing analysis, resources, and practical guidance for EMS leaders across the country.

🚨 BIG NEWS: The U.S. EMS Compact just grew to 28 states.

Connecticut, Arizona, and Alaska have each enacted the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA), joining the 25 states already participating in the nation's EMS workforce mobility network.

✅ Connecticut (26th) — signed by Governor Lamont, with a forward-thinking regional activation strategy designed to bring New England into the Compact network.
✅ Arizona (27th) — signed by Governor Hobbs on May 22; actively completing implementation and next in line to go fully operational.
✅ Alaska (28th) — passed the legislature with a 39-0 House concurrence vote; effective January 1, 2027.

With 28 states and more than 450,000 EMS clinicians, the Compact continues to grow. The EMS Compact reduces licensing barriers, strengthens disaster response, and supports military families across the country.
