Medicare would get better data to set fair prices for air ambulance rides.
This bill would help make sure Medicare pays fair prices for air ambulance services. It would require the government to collect more detailed cost information from air ambulance companies. This new data could then be used to update how Medicare pays for these air ambulance services, which could lead to more accurate payment rates for Medicare users.
Today, Medicare pays for air ambulance services using a fee schedule, but there isn't a specific requirement to collect detailed cost and revenue data from providers to regularly update these rates. If this bill passes, the government would collect new, detailed cost and revenue data from air ambulance companies every three years, allowing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to potentially revise Medicare payment rates based on this information.
