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.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
Both date changes the section makes to section 1834(l) of the Social Security Act.
Nothing else. The section is two edits to one subsection.
The section works by amending the Social Security Act. That law is not indexed here, so this file does not say how large the extra payment is or which trips earn it.
