Plain-English Summary

This bill would require Medicare and Medicaid to reimburse emergency medical services (EMS) providers for certain on-scene care and support services they provide to patients, rather than only paying for transport to hospitals. The change would help ambulance services and paramedics cover costs for treating patients at the scene of emergencies, potentially improving access to immediate care in rural and underserved areas. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine how it fits within their areas of responsibility.
