New York Medicaid is not enrolling any new ambulette providers in New York City and the following New York counties: Fulton, Monroe, Nassau, Niagara, Onondaga, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester. There is an exception when the new applicant has purchased an existing ambulette provider or has received a transfer of stock from the existing owner.
Starting September 1, 2011, a transfer of ownership from one company to another or the addition of new owners for an ambulette provider will only be approved if the new owner agrees to assume all liabilities of the transferror for all current Medicaid liabilities and all Medicaid liabilities resulting from claims issued during the seven years prior to the purchase.
