Modifies payments to ambulance providers

Summary

The bill mandates that health insurers reimburse out‑of‑network ground ambulance services at a minimum rate based on local government rates or, if none exist, up to 325 % of the Medicare rate, whichever is lower. It caps patients’ co‑pay, coinsurance and deductible at the same amounts they would pay for in‑network services and forbids ambulance companies from billing patients any additional fees. Insurers must send payment directly to the ambulance provider within 30 days of a clean claim.
