HR 2232 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act of 2025
To amend title XVIII to protect patient access to ground ambulance services under part B of the Medicare program.
Summary
This bill amends Medicare provisions governing payment for ground ambulance services under Part B of the program. Specifically, it extends through 2028 certain payment protections or rate provisions for ground ambulance services that were scheduled to expire in 2025. The bill modifies Section 1834(l) of the Social Security Act by changing the expiration date from 2025 to 2028 in both paragraph (12)(A) and all references in paragraph (13)(A). The extension is intended to ensure continued patient access to ground ambulance medical services under Medicare.
