Wicked Local Medway
MEDWAY, Mass. — Bellingham, Hopkinton, Medway, Uxbridge and Westborough are among 38 Massachusetts towns that will receive $4.6 million in state Medicaid reimbursements for delivering ambulance and emergency medical services to MassHealth members, Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration and the state Executive Office of Health and Human Services announced Friday.
The payments are a result of the towns’ participation in the Ambulance Certified Public Expenditure Program that gives towns with public ambulance and EMS services the opportunity to receive additional Medicaid reimbursement for services delivered to MassHealth members. The program, administered by the EOHHS, reimburses towns for services dating to April 1, 2013.
“This program provides our cities and towns an important opportunity to enhance life-saving services,” the governor said in a press release. “Our first responders are doing their part to protect the state’s most vulnerable residents and these resources provide the additional support to help more individuals in need.”
