This bill requires the bureau of TennCare (""bur eau"") to (i) reimburse an ambulance service provider for providing a covered urban ambulance service to a TennCare recipient at a rate not less than 67.5 % of the federal medicare program's allowable charge for participating providers; and (ii) reimburse an ambulance service provider for providing a covered rural ambulance service to a TennCare recipient at a rate not less than 100 % of the federal medicare program's allowable charge for participating providers. FUNDING – GRANTS This bill provides that fun ds described under this bill and those under the Ground Ambulance Service Provider Assessment Act must not be used to fund the other.
