United States
S. 1055
Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act
The bill would extend the deadline for notifying the Indian Health Service's payment program about emergency medical care received at non-IHS facilities from 72 hours to 15 days, giving patients and providers more time to report these claims. The extended timeline would not apply to elderly or disabled beneficiaries, who would continue to have 30 days to notify the program.[AI-Generated]
