AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE RATE OF PAYMENT FOR CERTAIN MASSHEALTH GROUND AMBULANCE SERVICES
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to require MassHealth ground ambulance services provided to fee-for-service and managed care plan members who are also Medicare eligible to be paid at the Medicare rate, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary and subject to federal approval, all ambulance ground transportation provided to MassHealth fee-for-service and managed care plan members who are also Medicare eligible shall be paid at the applicable Medicare rate.
Approved, October 17, 2023.
