Pennsylvania SB622 amends insurance billing laws to require insurers to reimburse nonnetwork EMS agencies directly.

Pennsylvania SB622 amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to modify billing practices for emergency medical services (EMS). Insurers must reimburse nonnetwork EMS agencies directly if the agency submits a standardized form to the Department of Health by October 15 each year. The bill also prohibits these agencies from billing insured individuals directly or indirectly for services, except for copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. The Department of Health is tasked with creating a standardized form and maintaining a public registry of participating EMS agencies.
