https://www.soarcampaign.com/va-reimbursement If the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) goes through with a proposal to cut its reimbursement rate for emergency air medical services, millions of Veterans could lose access to this lifesaving service. This is especially dangerous for Veterans in rural areas where access to medical care is already limited. Watch this video to hear from Robert Vanbrocklin, a Marine Corps Veteran who would not be here today without lifesaving air medical transport. What can you do?Contact the VA and your member of congress: Tweet this: - The @DeptVetAffairs is considering a change that could leave millions of Veterans without access to emergency air medical flights. Join me in calling on the VA to preserve access to this lifesaving service and delay any changes to its reimbursement rate.https://www.soarcampaign.com/take-action

The SOAR Campaign is hearing reports of insurance companies withholding and delaying claims to air medical providers; significantly underpaying for service or simply not paying at all; and sometimes refusing to respond to providers. This bad behavior has already resulted in the closure of an air medical base and threatens many more across the country. Tell Congress to Protect Emergency Air Medical Services and prevent insurer bad behavior and allow air medical providers to continue to serve rural America. From, The SOAR Campaign

House Bill 2431 prohibits Arizona's EMTs from diagnosing patients out in the field and persuading them into not going to a hospital. June 7, 2022 
https://www.12news.com/video/news/politics/arizona-bill-would-prohibit-emts-from-diagnosing-patients/75-9ec3cb3c-8459-4c72-86df-c47a36018693 Gov. Doug Ducey has signed legislation that prohibits emergency medical technicians from diagnosing patients or discouraging them from seeking transport to a hospital. House Bill 2431 sets new parameters for what Arizona's EMTs can or cannot recommend to patients they're treating out in the field. The new law prohibits EMTs from giving a presumptive medical diagnosis and using that diagnosis as justification to not transport the patient to a hospital. State Rep. Amish Shah, a medical doctor representing District 24, introduced the legislation after coming across research suggesting Phoenix had a high rate of "non-transports" compared to other jurisdictions. “We have reviewed a lot of different cases that have come through, not only Phoenix. What we’ve seen in these cases is a pattern of counseling people out. And that doesn’t fit in best practice,” Shah told 12 News earlier this year. The law further clarifies that EMTs can still inform a patient about their right to accept or decline transportation to a hospital. Phoenix fire previously told 12 News that its paramedics and EMTs were already following the state's protocols. HB 2431 passed through the Arizona House of Representatives in a final vote of 34-17 before it was signed by the governor this week. Eight state representatives declined to make a final vote on the bill.

According to a random poll conducted in Ottowa, Canada, Canadians rank paramedics as having the most respected profession, according to new poll results. Out of 29 occupations, firefighters do well, too — coming in second to paramedics, City News reported. Nurses, doctors, pharmacists and farmers are also in the top six. Firefighters were No. 1 in last year’s Maru Public Opinion poll, and paramedics were not included that year. The pollsters randomly chose 1,500 Canadian adults on four occasions between March 18 and May 3, 2022. By Leila Merrill Link to Story on EMS1.com
