Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII to protect patient access to ground ambulance services under part B of the Medicare program.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act of 2025", proposes to extend existing provisions related to ground ambulance services under Medicare Part B. Specifically, the bill amends Section 1834(l) of the Social Security Act by changing the year 2025 to 2028 in two key paragraphs. This extension likely ensures continued funding or regulatory arrangements for ground ambulance services, which are critical emergency medical transportation services typically covered by Medicare for eligible beneficiaries. By pushing back the date from 2025 to 2028, the bill appears to be providing additional time for the current framework of ground ambulance services to remain in place, potentially allowing for further review, negotiation, or policy development regarding these essential medical transportation services.
