Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow paramedics and emergency medical technicians to provide preventive health services and follow-up care to patients in their communities outside of emergency situations, such as helping manage chronic diseases or checking on people after hospital discharge. The goal is to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations by having trained paramedics do routine health checks and connect patients with resources they need. This would affect paramedics, patients with chronic conditions, and healthcare systems looking to lower costs while improving care in underserved areas.
