A. The ambulance service provider access payment program fee is to supplement, not supplant, appropriations to support ambulance service provider reimbursement. If Medicaid reimbursement rates to providers are adjusted, ambulance service provider rates shall not be adjusted less favorably than the average percentage-rate reduction or increase applicable to the majority of other provider groups.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Ambulance Service Provider Access Payment Program Act, if, after receipt of authorization to receive federal matching funds for monies generated by the Ambulance Service Provider Access Payment Program Act, the authorization is withdrawn or changed so that federal matching funds are no longer available, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall cease collecting the provider fee and shall repay to the ambulance services any money received by the Ambulance Service Provider Access Payment Program that is not subject to federal matching funds.
