SB211Dead
prohibit certain billing practices by ambulance service providers and establish reimbursement standards for out-of-network emergency medical services.
SB 211 prohibits ambulance service providers from billing patients directly for emergency medical services when the provider is out-of-network with the patient's insurance plan. The bill establishes that out-of-network ambulance providers must seek reimbursement from insurance plans rather than patients, protecting South Dakotans from unexpected medical bills for emergency transport services.
