Aligning the quality assurance fee for the ambulance transport fund with federal regulations.

Summary

The bill changes how Washington calculates and collects the quality‑assurance fee that funds emergency ambulance transports, tying the fee to available federal money. It requires quarterly payments from ambulance providers based on projected revenues and transport volumes, and limits the fee’s use to supplementing existing Medicaid payments. The goal is to keep the ambulance fund consistent with federal participation and avoid replacing current funding sources.
