Veterans Reimbursement for Emergency Ambulance Services Act

“(5) In delineating the circumstances under which reimbursement may be made under this section for ambulance services for an individual, the Secretary shall treat such services as emergency services for which reimbursement may be made under this section if the Secretary determines that—

“(A) the request for ambulance services was made as a result of the sudden onset of a medical condition of such a nature that a prudent layperson who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine—

“(i) would have reasonably expected that a delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to the life or health of the individual; or

“(ii) could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in placing the health of the individual in serious jeopardy, the serious impairment of bodily functions, or the serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part; and

“(B) the individual is transported to the closest and most appropriate medical facility capable of treating such emergency medical condition.”
