A communication from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (see Section 2KKKKK of Chapter 29 of the General Laws) submitting the MassHealth Nonpublic Ambulance Service Reimbursement Trust Fund report for fiscal year 2025

This document is a formal report submitted to state lawmakers detailing the financial activity of the Nonpublic Ambulance Service Reimbursement Trust Fund for fiscal year 2025. It explains that the fund collects fees from nonpublic ambulance providers to help cover costs, noting that fee collection resumed in March 2024 after a temporary pause in 2023 due to federal guidance. The report states that the fund collected approximately $32.3 million in fees and received $34.2 million in federal funds, which were used to make $68.5 million in supplemental payments to providers. It also clarifies that the fund ended the year with a small negative balance because payments to providers are often made before the corresponding fees are collected.
