Summary
Ohio House Bill 883 authorizes Medicaid coverage for "treatment in place" services provided by emergency medical services (EMS) organizations. Treatment in place services allow EMS paramedics and EMTs to provide emergency medical care to patients at the scene without transporting them to a hospital. The bill expands Medicaid to cover these services when delivered by EMS providers, potentially reducing unnecessary emergency department visits and ambulance transports. The bill makes an appropriation to fund this Medicaid coverage expansion.
