Lets Medicare cover ambulance services provided at your home, even without a hospital trip.
Right now, Medicare usually only pays for ambulance services if you are taken to a hospital. This bill would change that. It would let Medicare cover emergency care given where you are, even if you don't go to the hospital. This means people on Medicare would get more coverage for emergency medical help starting January 1, 2026.
Today, Medicare usually only covers ambulance services if the patient is taken to a medical place. After this bill, Medicare would clearly cover ambulance services given on-scene, even if no transport happens. The payment would be similar to transport services, starting January 1, 2026.
