Aligns the quality assurance fee for the ambulance transport fund with federal regulations.

The bill amends the quality assurance fee for the ambulance transport fund to align with federal regulations. It sets the fee rate by dividing the available fee amount by the total Medicaid emergency ambulance transports. The fee-for-service payment schedule is increased by an add-on, funded by the quality assurance fee and federal funds. The authority may seek federal approval for an add-on increase on a time-limited basis. The authority can waive penalties or interest if the fee imposition would cause undue financial hardship.
