An Act To Improve The Sustainability Of Emergency Medical Services In Maine
Died in Possession of the Senate when the Legislature adjourned Sine Die and was PLACED IN THE LEGISLATIVE FILES. (DEAD)
Summary
The bill changes how health carriers pay ambulance and non‑transport emergency medical providers, setting reimbursement caps at 200% of Medicare rates for in‑network providers and 180% for out‑of‑network providers, with extra rural adjustments. It also requires insurers to cover on‑scene treatment even when a patient isn’t transported, including the dispensing of FDA‑approved opioid‑overdose medication, and restricts carriers from demanding prior authorization for most transports. These changes aim to improve the financial sustainability of EMS providers across Maine.
