AI Summary
- Health insurers and HMOs offering major medical coverage must reimburse out-of-network ground ambulance service providers at the lowest of three rates: the locally approved rate, 325% of the Medicare rate for the same service and geographic area, or the provider's billed charges
- Patients' cost-sharing responsibilities (copayments, coinsurance, deductibles) for out-of-network ground ambulance services may not exceed what they would pay for in-network providers
- Payment in full by the insured of applicable copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles constitutes accord and satisfaction, releasing the patient from any additional financial liability to the insurer, provider, or any other entity for the ambulance services
- Small employer carriers are required to comply with the same reimbursement provisions for nonparticipating ambulance service providers
- The act takes effect January 1, 2026
