Emergency Medical Services Reimbursement for On-Scene and Support Act

HR 6257, the Emergency Medical Services Reimbursement for On-Scene and Support Act, amends federal law to expand Medicare reimbursement for ambulance services. It specifically allows ambulance providers to receive payment for on-scene medical care (without transportation) starting January 1, 2025, regardless of whether they also provide transport services. This directly affects ambulance providers who offer non-transport emergency medical services, ensuring they can be reimbursed for those specific on-scene treatments. The key provision modifies Section 1861(s)(7) of the Social Security Act to include these services under reimbursement eligibility. The change applies only to services furnished on or after the effective date, not retroactively.
