The bill aims to expand the ground emergency medical transportation program in Iowa by requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to employ dedicated staff focused solely on increasing enrollment in the program. This staff will provide essential support, including technical assistance, actuary support, and Medicaid enrollment assistance to eligible providers seeking to participate in the program. The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring access to emergency medical services across the state.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the department submit an annual report to the General Assembly by December 15, detailing the number of enrolled ground emergency medical transportation providers, the assistance provided to these providers in the previous fiscal year, and any barriers encountered in the enrollment process. This reporting requirement aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the program's effectiveness and outreach efforts.
