Alabama HB400 aims to regulate emergency ground ambulance services by prohibiting balance billing and setting minimum reimbursement rates for health.

Alabama HB400 establishes regulations for emergency ground ambulance services by prohibiting balance billing and setting minimum reimbursement rates for health care insurers. The bill mandates that reimbursement rates be accepted as payment in full, preventing ground ambulance providers from charging enrollees more than their in-network cost-sharing amount. It also requires health care insurers to contract with willing emergency medical service providers and submit annual reports to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
