An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for nontransport emergency transportation services.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to establish payment rules for nontransport emergency medical services provided to eligible individuals who do not require or refuse transport. Starting July 1, 2024, licensed emergency medical services agencies will be reimbursed for these specific services at rates equal to the higher of the 2023 Medicare ambulance fee schedule or current Medicaid ambulance fees. The change directly affects how public assistance programs compensate providers for emergency care rendered without actual transportation.
