Pennsylvania — NSA dispute pathway
Ground-ambulance balance-billing law
NO STATE LAW
—
State IDR pathway
[VERIFY PENDING]
Federal IDR (45 CFR §149.510)
ERISA self-funded plans
STATE DOI HAS NO JURISDICTION
Self-funded plans always route to Federal IDR + DOL/EBSA enforcement, regardless of state.
How Pennsylvania fits the NSA picture
PA Insurance Department page references only the federal NSA; no PA-specific ground ambulance balance-billing statute located. HB 1862 (2020) never received a floor vote.
