HB 171 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

TennCare - As enacted, extends the ground ambulance service annual assessment to June 30, 2026; makes other revisions to the Ground Ambulance Service Provider Assessment Act. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 5, Part 15.

HB 171 extends the deadline for the annual ground ambulance service assessment from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026, directly affecting ambulance service providers in Tennessee who pay this assessment. The bill also changes a requirement from 30 to 45 business days for certain administrative processes and allows the office of emergency services to share additional data - including protected health information - with the bureau to ensure the assessment program complies with state and federal laws. These changes aim to provide more time for compliance and improve data accuracy without altering the core assessment structure.
