The bill amends several sections of the Code of Alabama 1975 to extend the assessment on emergency medical transport providers through the fiscal quarter starting July 1, 2025. Specifically, it modifies Sections 40-26B-91, 40-26B-94, 40-26B-95, and 40-26B-99 to reflect this extension. The assessment is calculated based on the number of emergency medical transports provided, with the rate determined in consultation with the Alabama Medicaid Agency. The bill also mandates that emergency medical transport providers file quarterly statements detailing their transports and gross receipts, and it establishes confidentiality for the information collected.

Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which the assessment will cease to be operative, including the unavailability of federal financial participation for the Alabama Medicaid Program or failure to meet state funding obligations. If these conditions are met, the department is required to refund any remaining assessment pool to the providers based on their contributions. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
