Maine LD1530 aims to improve emergency medical services sustainability by ensuring reimbursement for on-scene care and certain community paramedicine.

Maine LD1530 amends existing laws to ensure that care provided at the scene of an emergency by ambulance services or nontransporting emergency medical services is reimbursable, regardless of whether the patient is transported to another facility. This includes the administration of opioid overdose-reversing medications. The bill also mandates reimbursement for specific community paramedicine services. It sets reimbursement rates based on whether the provider is in-network or out-of-network, with additional considerations for rural or super rural areas.
