Also relevant to:Medicaid / public insurance

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans to pay a minimum rate for emergency ambulance services provided by out-of-network providers. If a local government sets a rate, insurers must pay 100% of that rate. Otherwise, they must pay 400% of the Medicare rate or the provider's billed charges, whichever is less. This change aims to ensure fair payment for emergency ambulance transport and limits patient cost-sharing for these services.
