Seniors and people with disabilities who are covered by Medicare would be most directly affected. If they call for an ambulance but don't need to be taken to a hospital, the on-scene medical care they receive would now be covered by Medicare, potentially preventing unexpected bills for these emergency services.
Ambulance service providers and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) would also be affected. They would be able to bill Medicare for services provided at the scene without transport, potentially increasing their revenue and better compensating them for the critical care they provide, regardless of whether a transport occurs.
