Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow emergency medical services (EMS) providers and ambulance companies to get paid by Medicare and insurance companies for treating patients at the scene of an emergency, even if the patient doesn't go to the hospital. Currently, these providers often don't receive reimbursement for on-scene care, which affects paramedics, EMTs, and the ambulance services that employ them across the country.
