AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study of Medicaid supplemental reimbursement for ground emergency medical transportation (GEMT) services. Specifically, the bill requires OHA to investigate and analyze the current Medicaid payment rates for emergency medical services provided by ground transportation providers, with the goal of understanding potential improvements or gaps in the reimbursement system. The authority is mandated to prepare a report, which may include legislative recommendations, and submit it to the interim health-related legislative committees by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited research initiative designed to provide insights into GEMT service reimbursement without creating a permanent ongoing mandate.
