HB24-1218 - Committee Discussion Only
|
|
|
03:26:24 PM |
The primary bill
sponsors, Representatives McCormick and Soper, introduced House Bill 24-1217
to the Houe Health and Human Services Committee.The bill provides regulations
for ambulance service rates and billing. It allows a subdivision of the
state (a county, municipality, school district, or special district) to
submit established rates for ambulance services to the Division of Insurance
in the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The department must post
these rates to their website. When a covered individual receives ambulance
services that are out-of-network, the insurance carrier must reimburse
the costs for ambulance services at either the established rates submitted
to the DORA or at 325 percent of the federal rates if an established rate
is not available. The bill also prohibits out-of-network ambulance services
from billing patients for amounts not covered by the insurance carrier,
except for the fees for which the patient is responsible. Ambulance services
can dispute reimbursements.
