An Act relative to revising the Non-Public Ambulance Trust Fund

This bill directs the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on the Non-Public Ambulance Trust Fund by June 30, 2024. The investigation will examine current payment models and fee assessments for non-public ambulance services, specifically focusing on their financial impact on non-profit regionalized emergency-only providers without Medicaid patients. The study must also evaluate compliance with federal laws, efforts to protect state Medicaid funding, and existing enforcement mechanisms for unpaid assessments. Following the review, the agency will submit a report with findings and recommendations to the General Court for potential changes to the fund's structure.
