Some days are more exciting than others...

07/17/2020

On June 26, 2020, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision that insurers may reimburse air ambulance providers for the “fair and reasonable medical expenses" incurred in providing such service. Air ambulance providers argued that the federal Airline Deregulation Act (ADA) preempted any state fee reimbursement schedule. The Court held that the ADA does not preempt state fee regulation and the ADA does not require carriers to pay the full billed amount. The Court remanded the case and considering other similar cases that are still ongoing, this battle is likely not over yet.

On January 31, 2018, the 3rd District Court of Appeals released its air ambulance opinion. The issue is whether Texas law (Texas Fee Schedule) can limit the amount of reimbursement for an air ambulance provider. The Court held that “the statutes and rules that attempt to regulate the reimbursement that may be obtained by [an air ambulance provider] (1) are preempted by the ADA’s prohibition on state attempts to regulate an air carrier’s price, route or service and (2) are not “reverse-preempted” by the McCarran-Ferguson Act. Basically, the Texas Fee Schedule does not apply to these medical bills and the providers will be entitled to a higher amount of reimbursement. The cases will not be remanded to the trial court for another determination consistent with this opinion.
