2024 House Bill 5695

AI Analysis – Experimental

This bill aims to establish a program for supplemental reimbursement to eligible ground emergency medical transportation providers serving Medicaid recipients. The program will pursue federal approval, adhering to costs allowable under federal law, and will cover services on both a fee-for-service and managed care basis. Eligible providers, including those owned or operated by governmental entities such as states, cities, counties, fire authorities, federally recognized Indian tribes, or local units of government, must meet specific criteria and submit necessary documentation to receive reimbursements, which are capped at 100% of actual costs incurred. Participation in the program is voluntary, and the department will set a uniform percentage of the provider's net patient revenues, ensuring fees collected do not exceed regulatory limits.
