MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 30, 2023 10:43 AM
From: Senator Michele Brooks and Sen. Tracy Pennycuick
To: All Senate members
Subject: Reducing the Loaded Mile Requirement for MA Reimbursement for Ambulance Transportation Services
 
Act 54 of 2022 authorized increased Medical Assistance (MA) fees for ambulance transportation services in both the Fee-for-Service (FFS) and managed care delivery systems.  Act 54 authorizes a fee of $4.00 per mile to be paid to ambulance transportation services for each loaded mile beyond twenty (20) loaded miles for ground ambulance transportation.
 
We will be introducing legislation amending the statute to permit ambulance transportation services to be paid per each loaded mile beyond five (5) loaded miles for ground ambulance transportation.  This will help our struggling EMS providers better recoup the costs incurred for providing their services.
 
Thank you for your consideration of cosponsoring this important measure.
 


Introduced as SB555
