A bill for an act relating to the expansion of the ground emergency medical transportation program.

This bill, HF 941, expands the ground emergency medical transportation (GEMT) program by requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to hire dedicated staff. These staff will assist eligible ground emergency medical transportation providers with technical support, actuary services, and Medicaid enrollment to help them join the program. The department is directed to develop the program to ensure access to emergency medical services throughout the state. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual report to the general assembly detailing enrollment numbers, assistance provided, and barriers to participation in the GEMT program.
