Bill Summary
A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for an extension of certain ambulance add-on payments under the Medicare program.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Medicare Ambulance Access Act of 2013, aims to extend certain additional payments, known as "add-on payments," for ambulance services provided under Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Specifically, it proposes to push back the expiration date for these enhanced payments for both ground ambulance services and "super rural" ambulance services from January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2019. These add-on payments are designed to help offset the costs for ambulance providers, particularly those in more remote or challenging areas, ensuring continued access to essential emergency medical transportation for Medicare beneficiaries.
