AI Summary
This bill aims to address payments for the use of ambulance services. It requires insurance companies to directly and promptly pay ambulance service providers for emergency ambulance services rendered to insured individuals, even if the provider is not contracted with the insurer. The payment amount is to be based on the rate established by the municipality where the patient was transported, except for certain non-profit critical care ambulance services. The bill also states that the ambulance service provider shall be deemed paid in full and cannot further bill the insured, except for any applicable coinsurance, copayments, or deductibles. The bill clarifies that it does not limit or adversely affect an insured's right to receive benefits under their insurance policy for ambulance services.
