Bill Summary
Prohibit "balance billing" by ground ambulances
AI Summary
This bill prohibits "balance billing" by ground ambulances in Alabama. It establishes a minimum reimbursement amount that health care insurers must pay to out-of-network emergency medical service providers, which is the lesser of the provider's billed charge or 325% of the applicable Medicare rate. The bill also requires insurers to pay providers directly within 30 days of receiving a clean claim, and prohibits providers from billing enrollees for any amount above the minimum reimbursement. Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to subject certain health care organizations to the provisions of this act.
