Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model
The Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) model (the “model”) is a voluntary, five-year payment model that will provide greater flexibility to ambulance care teams to address emergency health care needs of Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries following a 911 Call.
ET3 consists of three interventions:
the treatment in place and transport to an alternative destination interventions described in the Request for Applications, and the triage intervention described in this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
Together, these interventions make up a comprehensive model for potentially improving the quality of care and lowering costs to Medicare by reducing avoidable transports to hospital emergency departments (EDs) and avoidable inpatient admissions.
Through the ET3 model NOFO, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will fund recipients to establish or expand a Medical Triage Line.
Eligible applicants are state and local governments, their Designees, or other entities that operate or have oversight over a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
A Medical Triage Line funded through the ET3 model will allow existing PSAPs to redirect Callers with non-emergency conditions to appropriate care alternatives.
