Show Notes
Alabamas Senate Bill 269 aims to curb surprise ambulance bills and boost payments to ambulance services. The bill sets a minimum reimbursement rate at least twice the federal Medicare rate, currently the lowest in the country. It also introduces a treat-in-place option to alleviate ambulance shortages and hospital backups. Despite concerns about potential insurance premium hikes, supporters estimate a mere sixty cents more per month per policy. The bill passed the Senate and is headed to the House.
