Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act and the Fair Patient Billing Act. Makes the Fair Patient Billing Act applicable to vehicle service providers as defined in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act (that is, entities licensed by the Department of Public Health to provide emergency or non-emergency medical services utilizing at least ambulances or specialized emergency medical service vehicles). (Under current law, the Fair Patient Billing Act applies only to hospitals.) Provides that the obligations of vehicle service providers under these provisions take effect for services provided on or after the first day of the month that begins 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act. Makes a vehicle service provider subject to licensure sanctions under the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act for failure to comply with the standards and requirements of the Fair Patient Billing Act.
