State lawmakers re-launch “Fire and EMS Caucus”

(WHTM) — State lawmakers have re-launched the bipartisan “Fire and EMS Caucus.”

The goals of the caucus are to address safety, personnel, equipment, and funding challenges.

The goal is also for insurance companies to send payments to the patients, who are then supposed to pay the EMS company, but that last part doesn’t always happen.

“We’re trying to make it so that just like with a physician’s office visit or care in a hospital, the insurance companies are sending the payment directly to the EMS who provided the care,” said Rep. Lisa Borowski (D-Delaware County).

Rep. Borowski says the legislation is also needed to help local EMS and fire companies with a variety of issues.
