N.D. Cent. Code § 50-24.1-15

Current through 2024 Legislative Session
Section 50-24.1-15 - Prehospital emergency medical services

Medical assistance coverage must include prehospital emergency medical services benefits in the case of a medical condition that manifests itself by symptoms of sufficient severity which may include severe pain and which a prudent layperson who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine could reasonably expect the absence of medical attention to result in placing the person's health in jeopardy, serious impairment of a bodily function, or serious dysfunction of any body part. A medical assistance claim that meets the prudent layperson standard of this section may not be denied by the department on the basis that the prehospital emergency medical services were not medically necessary or that a medical emergency did not exist.
