What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The single thing the section does: move an end date in the Medicare ambulance fee schedule.

Nothing in the section is left out. Both edits make the same date change.

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 it covers.
