Bill overview
This bill aims to expand Medicare coverage for ambulance services. Specifically, it amends the Social Security Act to include ambulance services that provide on-scene care and support, rather than solely transportation, under Medicare reimbursement. This change would allow Medicare to cover services like on-site medical assessments and stabilization, regardless of whether transportation is also provided. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2025.
