AN ACT relating to a Medicaid supplemental payment program for public ground ambulance providers.

The bill was updated to change the Medicaid supplemental payment program's effective date from July 1, 2025 to January 1, 2026, and added new funding and administrative requirements. The changes include establishing a $200,000 annual administrative fee retained by the department, requiring participating providers to contribute to this fee based on their run volume, and mandating that funding sources be separate from existing assessments and not drawn from the state general fund.
