WY SF 4: Medicaid rate increase-EMS services.
Summary
Wyoming SF 4, enacted as Chapter 69, raises the Medicaid reimbursement rate for ground ambulance emergency medical services to 100 percent of the current Medicare rate. The Wyoming Department of Health is required to develop enhanced rural and super-rural fee schedules and to report to the Joint Appropriations Committee and the Joint Labor, Health and Social Services Interim Committee on additional costs incurred by the rate increase by October 31, 2027. The act includes an appropriation to fund the rate increase.
What this may mean
Ground ambulance service providers in Wyoming will receive Medicaid reimbursement at 100 percent of the Medicare rate, a direct increase from prior state Medicaid rates. The Department of Health must establish separate enhanced rural and super-rural fee schedules, which may further affect reimbursement for providers in those areas. The accompanying appropriation funds the increase, and a required legislative report is due by October 31, 2027.
