Bill Summary
Relative to sole emergency medical services providers. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate sole emergency medical services (EMS) providers in Massachusetts. It defines an "EMS sole provider" as an EMS provider with an exclusive agreement, approval, or designation to serve a local jurisdiction or service zone. The bill places restrictions on sole EMS providers, prohibiting them from charging fees higher than other EMS providers in the same area and limiting the rates they can charge insurance entities and uninsured individuals. It also requires the Department of Public Health to refrain from designating any service zone or local jurisdiction provider as an EMS sole provider if they violate these provisions. The bill directs the Department of Public Health to promulgate regulations to implement the new law.
