Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII to strengthen ambulance services furnished under part B of the Medicare program.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen ambulance services under Medicare Part B. It extends the current provisions that provide higher payment rates for ground ambulance services in rural and low-population density areas from 2023 to 2028. Additionally, the bill establishes an exception to maintain the rural or qualified rural designation for areas with 1,000 or fewer individuals per square mile, even if the area would otherwise no longer qualify for that designation. The bill also creates an administrative appeals process for ambulance service providers and suppliers to seek reconsideration of a change in a ZIP code's rural or qualified rural status during the first 12 months after the Secretary finalizes the change.
