Bill > H992

This bill amends Chapter 176D of the General Laws to require insurance companies to directly and promptly pay ambulance service providers for emergency ambulance services rendered to insured individuals, even if the ambulance service provider is not contracted with the insurer. The bill defines key terms like "ambulance service provider," "emergency ambulance services," and "insurer." It specifies that the payment to the ambulance service provider must be at the rate established by the municipality where the patient was transported, and that the provider cannot further bill the insured beyond any applicable coinsurance, copayments, or deductibles. The bill also clarifies that it does not limit or adversely affect an insured's right to receive ambulance service benefits under their insurance policy.
