New law expected to aid both patients, ambulance services providers
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Triage, Treat, and Transport to an Alternative Destination Act, or House Bill 1489, recently took effect, enhancing funding for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) across the state. This legislation mandates that private insurance companies reimburse ambulance services based on a specified Medicare rate, ensuring patients face little to no bills for emergency medical care. Previously, many insurance providers underfunded ambulance services, jeopardizing care sustainability. Now, EMS can use the increased funds to improve equipment and service quality. The bill also ensures coverage for transports to alternative locations, benefiting both patients and ambulance companies across Mississippi.

Mississippi House Speaker Jason White talks about money issues facing the state
SUMMARY: House Speaker Jason White discussed the financial challenges facing Mississippi’s public employees retirement system during a talk at the Starkville Rotary Club. He acknowledged that the system, similar to Social Security, lacks enough funding to meet obligations. While lawmakers are committed to not harming retirees, significant action is needed, including possible legislative cash infusions. Despite contributing $110 million this past session, the system requires billions of dollars to stay solvent. White also highlighted efforts to cut taxes, even as the funding crisis persists, impacting many employees, including those at Mississippi State University.
