(a) The department shall develop a program to provide supplemental reimbursement to eligible emergency medical transportation service providers for the cost of providing services to medical assistance recipients. Except as provided in (b) of this section, the amount of the supplemental reimbursement paid to a provider must be equal to the amount of federal financial participation that the department receives for the nonfederal matching funds paid by the provider through intergovernmental transfers or certified public expenditures, less any administrative fee described in (d) or (e) of this section. Under the program, the department shall use intergovernmental transfers, or certified public expenditures, or both, for the nonfederal share of emergency medical transportation services that are eligible for federal financial participation under the medical assistance program. (b) The amount a provider receives in supplemental reimbursements under the program, when combined with the amount the provider receives from all other sources, including medical assistance reimbursement under the state plan, may not exceed the provider's actual cost for providing emergency medical transportation services to medical assistance recipients. (c) An emergency medical transportation service provider is eligible to participate in the program if the provider (1) is enrolled with the department as a medical assistance provider; (2) voluntarily enters into an agreement with the department to participate in the program; (3) is owned or operated by the state, a political subdivision of the state, or a federally recognized tribe or tribal organization; (4) charges for emergency medical transportation services on a fee-for-service or other federally permissible basis; and (5) certifies that the provider's expenditures for emergency medical transportation services qualify for federal financial participation.
