This bill aims to protect patients involved in motor vehicle accidents from delayed ambulance billing by establishing new requirements for ambulance services. It mandates that ambulance services collect relevant insurance information from patients at the time of transportation and provide them with a consumer notice regarding their insurance options. Additionally, if the insurance information is collected, the ambulance service must bill the appropriate insurance or the patient within 60 days. If the information is not collected during transportation, the service is required to attempt to gather it and bill accordingly within the same timeframe.

Furthermore, the bill requires the Department of Health, in collaboration with various stakeholders, to develop a standard consumer notice by January 1, 2026. This notice will educate the public on the types of insurance that may cover ambulance service bills following a motor vehicle accident, the order of application for these insurances, and the rights of the insured. The provisions of this act will take effect on January 1, 2026.
