HB 1965 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for certification of community paramedicine providers, for community paramedicine service coverage by casualty insurance carriers and for medical assistance reimbursement.

HB 1965 establishes a certification process for community paramedicine providers in Pennsylvania, requiring them to meet state standards to deliver certain medical services. It mandates that casualty insurance carriers cover community paramedicine services in their policies and requires state medical assistance programs to reimburse providers for these services. The bill directly affects community paramedicine providers (who must certify), insurance companies (who must provide coverage), and state health programs (which must pay for covered services). These changes aim to formalize and expand access to community-based emergency medical care through standardized provider qualifications and insurance coverage.
