RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 272 (HB 783) 2018 Regular Session Huval
Existing law provides that the La. Dept. of Health (LDH) shall assess each emergency ground
service provider a percentage fee.
Prior law provided that the maximum fee allowable in any year shall not exceed three and
one-half percent of the annual net operating revenue of the emergency ground ambulance
service provider.
New law provides that the maximum fee allowable in any year shall not exceed the
percentage of net patient service revenues permitted by federal regulation pursuant to 42 CFR
433.68 as determined by (LDH).
Prior law required (LDH) to publish in the official state journal the total amount of the fee
assessment and the corresponding applicable percentage of net operating revenue that will
be applied to assess the emergency ground service providers.
New law repeals this requirement.
Effective August 1, 2018.
