Pennsylvania HB397 allows volunteer firefighters with EMT certification to bill insurers directly for emergency medical services.
Pennsylvania HB397 amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to allow volunteer firefighters with EMT certification to bill insurers directly for emergency medical services provided at emergency scenes. Payments must be made directly to the fire company. If multiple certified EMT firefighters from different companies provide services, separate bills can be submitted. Insurers cannot require fire companies to contract with them. Submitting false claims is a summary offense with fines up to $100 for the first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense.
