• Pa. Senate bill proposes reimbursing EMS agencies for 'treat-no-transport' calls (butlereagle.com) — A proposed Pennsylvania Senate bill could bring new Medicaid reimbursement money to Cranberry EMS for calls where patients are treated but not transported. Cranberry's EMS director says about a quarter of local calls fall into this category, meaning the change could ease financial strain on the service and reduce out-of-pocket costs for some township residents.
