Social Services (SOS) CHAPTER 55, ARTICLE 5, TITLE 11
* § 367-s. Emergency medical transportation services. 1.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, a supplemental
medical assistance payment shall be made on an annual basis to providers
of emergency medical transportation services in an aggregate amount not
to exceed four million dollars for two thousand six, six million dollars
for two thousand seven, six million dollars for two thousand eight, six
million dollars for the period May first, two thousand fourteen through
March thirty-first, two thousand fifteen, and six million dollars
annually beginning with the period April first, two thousand fifteen
through March thirty-first, two thousand sixteen pursuant to the
following methodology:

(a) For each emergency medical transportation services provider that
receives medical assistance reimbursement processed through the state
Medicaid payment system, the department of health shall determine the
ratio of such provider's state-processed reimbursement to the total such
reimbursement made during each quarter of the applicable calendar year,
expressed as a percentage;

(b) For each such provider, the department of health shall multiply
the percentage obtained pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision by
one-quarter of the applicable aggregate amount specified in the opening
paragraph of this subdivision. The result of such calculation shall
represent the "emergency medical transportation service supplemental
payment" and shall be paid expeditiously to such provider on a quarterly
basis;

2. The amount disbursed to emergency medical transportation services
providers whose area of operation is within the city of New York will be
twenty-five percent of the applicable aggregate amount, with the
remaining seventy-five percent to be disbursed to all other emergency
medical transportation services providers.

3. If all necessary approvals under federal law and regulation are not
obtained to receive federal financial participation in the payments
authorized by this section, payments under this section shall be made in
an aggregate amount not to exceed two million dollars for two thousand
six, three million dollars for two thousand seven, three million dollars
for two thousand eight, three million dollars for the period May first,
two thousand fourteen through March thirty-first, two thousand fifteen,
and three million dollars annually beginning with the period April
first, two thousand fifteen through March thirty-first, two thousand
sixteen. In such case, the multiplier set forth in paragraph (b) of
subdivision one of this section shall be deemed to be two million
dollars or three million dollars as applicable to the annual period.

4. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of section three
hundred sixty-eight-a of this title, or of any other law, to the
contrary, the department of health shall pay one hundred per centum of
the non-federal share of any payments made pursuant to this section.
