Summary
The Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act of 2021 aims to ensure that emergency medical transportation remains available and affordable in rural communities. The bill extends temporary Medicare payment increases for ground ambulance services through 2028, providing financial stability to providers operating in areas with lower call volumes and higher travel distances. Additionally, it protects the "rural" status of certain areas even if their population density changes, ensuring these communities do not lose the specialized funding necessary to maintain life-saving emergency services.
