Medicaid rate increase-EMS services.

Summary

The law requires Medicaid to pay emergency ground‑ambulance providers 100% of the current Medicare rate for a two‑year period beginning July 1, 2026. It allocates $2.6 million in state and federal funds to cover the higher payments and obliges the Department of Health to report the cost impact by October 31, 2027. The goal is to ensure ambulance providers are fully compensated for services to Medicaid patients.
