AN ACT relating to a Medicaid supplemental payment program for public ground ambulance providers.

This bill requires Kentucky's Medicaid agency to set up a supplemental payment program specifically for publicly operated ground ambulance services. It directs the agency to submit the necessary paperwork to the federal government to create this program, which would provide additional Medicaid funding to those providers. This matters because it could help public ambulance services recover more of the costs of treating Medicaid patients. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who rely on public ground ambulance services, particularly in rural or underserved areas where publicly operated emergency medical services are common.
