S 3730 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Emergency Medical Services Reimbursement for On-Scene Care and Support Act

This bill amends Medicare reimbursement rules to expand coverage for ambulance services. It allows ambulance providers to receive payment for on-scene medical care (like treatment at the location) even if they do not transport the patient, effective January 1, 2027. The change directly affects ambulance providers who currently only receive reimbursement for transport services. This policy update ensures Medicare covers non-transport emergency care provided by these providers.
