Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure Medicare patients in rural areas continue to have access to ground ambulance services by temporarily increasing payment rates. It extends a current rate increase for these services until January 1, 2028, and proposes a larger increase for services provided between October 1, 2025, and January 1, 2028. The bill modifies Medicare payment formulas to reflect these higher rates, specifically targeting services in ‘super rural’ areas. This is intended to support ambulance providers operating in underserved communities.
