Emergency Medical Services Reimbursement for On-Scene Care and Support Act

This bill amends Medicare reimbursement rules to cover emergency medical services provided on-scene without patient transportation. Starting January 1, 2025, ambulance providers will be eligible for payment for on-scene care, even if they do not offer transport services. It directly affects ambulance service providers and Medicare beneficiaries who receive emergency care at the scene. The policy expands Medicare coverage to include a previously unreimbursed service, ensuring payment for essential on-scene medical support.
