AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

SB 2685 increases the reimbursement rates that individual and group health insurance plans must pay for ambulance services. This directly affects ambulance providers (who receive higher payments) and insurance companies (which must cover these increased costs). The bill changes how insurance companies compensate emergency medical transportation services, ensuring higher payments for covered ambulance trips under existing health plans. It does not alter coverage eligibility or create new benefit requirements.
