Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide Medicare coverage of ambulance services that do not include transportation.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Emergency Medical Services Reimbursement for On-Scene and Support Act," amends Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which governs Medicare, to expand coverage for ambulance services. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows Medicare to reimburse providers for ambulance services furnished on or after January 1, 2026, even if the patient is not transported. This means that emergency medical services that provide care at the scene or offer other support without transporting the patient will be eligible for Medicare reimbursement at a rate comparable to transportation services, addressing a gap in current coverage.
