Ohio HB883 expands Medicaid coverage to include in-place medical services provided by emergency medical technicians.

Ohio HB883 amends the Medicaid program to cover medical services provided by emergency medical technicians when the patient is not transported to a hospital. This applies if the emergency call initiated the request, the patient was evaluated and treated according to state rules, and either the technician decides against transport or the patient declines it. The bill also sets a $150 payment rate for these services and appropriates funds for this coverage.
