Re: Voucher Submissions for
Training Reimbursements
To Whom It May Concern:
The New York State Office of the State Comptroller has issued a new Claim For
Payment voucher, AC3253-S, which replaces the previous form, AC92. Effective as of the date
of this letter, all Claims For Payment must be submitted using AC3253-S.
Agencies are eligible to submit to the Bureau of EMS for reimbursement for those
members and/or employees of their agency, who have become certified through a NYS BEMS
Certification Course. BEMS Policy 09-06 outlines all eligibility and submission requirements.
Please make sure you follow Policy 09-06 and any future updates to this policy.
Form AC3253-S is a fill-in-able Adobe PDF document, which can be filled out on your
computer, printed, then submitted to BEMS. We encourage you to take advantage of this
format instead of printing the form and then filling it out so the form is legible and accurate.
Following are the instructions to fill out the form:
A maximum of 6 providers can be on a single voucher. If you have more than 6 providers, you
must submit additional vouchers. Only one certification level can be submitted on one voucher.
For example, if you have 2 providers (1 EMT and 1 Paramedic) you are submitting for
reimbursement, you need to complete 2 separate vouchers.
Agency Code Your BEMS 4 digit agency code.
Vendor Name Agency name.
Address, City, State, Zip Code Agency’s official mailing address.
Vendor Identification Number
