What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: strike January 31, 2026 and insert January 1, 2028 in two paragraphs of section 1834(l) of the Social Security Act.

Nothing else. The section makes the same change in each place the date appears.

The section amends the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here, so what the ambulance add-on payments provide is not recorded on this site.
