Plain-English Summary
The proposal would adjust how Medicare pays for ambulance services to make sure payments are fair and appropriate for the providers who offer this emergency transportation. Ambulance companies and Medicare beneficiaries who need emergency transport would be affected by changes to how these services are reimbursed under the federal health insurance program for seniors and some disabled people.
