Montana Will Send Rural EMS Crews Into Homes for Wound Care and Fall Checks with $3.63 Million Award

Seventeen rural emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in Montana will expand home-based care with a $3.63 million federal award, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Oct. 16. The CMS announcement on Montana's EMS award said crews will provide services such as wound care, fall risk assessments, and follow-up visits after hospital discharge. The 17 agencies were not named in the release.
