H. CORRESPONDENCE

VICKIE SWOPE HAS SCHEDULED A RAIL TRAIL COMMITTEE MEETING FOR SEPTEMBER 24, 2026 AT 7P.M.

​

WE HAVE RECEIVED AN EMAIL ASKING THE TOWNSHIP TO SEND A LETTER TO OUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT HB1152, WHICH REPRESENTS THE CRITCAL STEP TOWARD ADDRESSING THE FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PRESSURES THREATENING EMS AGENCIES THROUGHOUT PA. WITHOUT ACTION, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WILL CONTINUE TO ERODE IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH. 

THIS BILL IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL STABILITY TO OUR STRUGGLING EMERGENCY SERVICES BY COMPLETELY OVERHAULING HOW THEYGET PAID FOR 911 CALLS. HERE IS EXACTLY HOW HB1152 WIL PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN OUR LOCAL EMS:

1. GUARANTEED DIRECT REIMBURSEMENT: CURRENTLY, INSURANCE COMPANIES OFTEN SEND THE PAYOUT FOR AN AMBULANCE RIDE DIRECTLY TO THE PATIENT. HB1152 REQUIRES INSURERS TO PAY EMS AGENCIES DIRECTLY, ENSURING THE MONEY IS ACTUALLY GOING TO PROVIDERS.

2. FAIR MINIMUM PAYMENT RATES: THE BILL MANDATES THAT COMMERCIAL INSURERS PAY 350% OF THE CURRENT MEDICARE RATE FOR AMBULANCE SERVICES. THIS ENSURES THAT EMERGENCY TRIPS COVER THEIR ACTUAL COSTS RATHER THAN OPERATING AT A FINANCIAL LOSS. 

3. NO NETWORK RESTRICTIONS: EMS AGENCIES WILL RECEIVE THIS HIGHER PAYOUT EVEN IF THEY ARE OUT-OF-NETWORK. AGENCIES WILL NO LONGER BE SQUEEZED BY RESTRICTIVE INSURANCE CONTRACTS JUST TO GET REIMBURSED.

4. PROTECTIONS FOR PATIENTS: WHILE EMS PROVIDERS GET THE STABLE FUDNING THEY NEED, PATIENTS ARE PROTECTED. THE BILL OUTLAWS "SURPRISE BILLING" MEANING PATIENTS CANNOT BE BILLED FOR THE DIFFERECNE BETWEEN THE INSURANCE PAYOUT AND THE TOTAL COST(OUTSIDE OF "NORMAL" COPAYS).

​

DIRT AND GRAVEL PROGRAM WILL HAVE POLICY CHANGES. APPLICATION ACCEPTED 1/1/2027-2/15/2027; PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED APLICATION WILL BE RETURNED FOR REVISIONS REFLECTING THE NEW POLICY AND FORMS. IF WE PLAN TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, WE NEED TO LET THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT KNOW BY NOVEMBER 1, 2026.
