What the document says
“in paragraph (12)(A), by striking "October 1, 2025" and inserting "January 31, 2026"; and (2) in paragraph (13), by striking "October 1, 2025" each place it appears and inserting "January 31, 2026" in each such place.”
The section amends section 1834(l) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395m(l)) in two paragraphs, moving the end of the ambulance add-on payments.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (12)(A), by striking "October 1, 2025" and inserting "January 31, 2026"; and (2) in paragraph (13), by striking "October 1, 2025" each place it appears and inserting "January 31, 2026" in each such place.”
That sentence, in plain words
The same old date is taken out in two places. The same later date goes in each time.
What this is about
Ambulance firms are paid a set rate. Some trips cost more than that rate. The extra pay helps cover the gap.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
