flag Maine advances bill to reimburse non-hospital emergency care, aiming to cut ER visits and support paramedics.

flag Maine lawmakers are advancing LD 2119, a bill to expand Medicaid reimbursement for emergency medical services delivered outside hospitals, including at patients’ homes and urgent care centers. flag The change would cover care that doesn’t require hospital transport, such as wellness checks and medication management, aiming to reduce unnecessary ER visits and support struggling community paramedicine programs. flag The move follows new state licensing standards for paramedics, which have caused staffing shortages in some areas due to training and cost demands. flag Meanwhile, Colorado is considering similar reforms to allow insurance reimbursement for non-ER emergency care, aiming to improve access and cut costs.
