The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) collects and reports information about billing rates for emergency service providers within political subdivisions as reported by those political subdivisions. The National Provider Identifier Standard (NPI) is a unique ten-digit identification number for covered health care providers. This dataset relates emergency service providers by NPI with the political subdivisions where they operate by year and quarter. There is a row for each emergency service provider operating within a political subdivision. Subdivisions with more than one provider operating in them or providers operating in more than one subdivision will be listed in multiple rows. The data includes the year and quarter the information applies to as well as the date the political subdivision submitted their report.
The Texas Legislature amended
Texas Insurance Code Chapter 38 via
Senate Bill 2476 during the 88th session to add reporting “relating to consumer protections against certain medical and health care billing by emergency medical services providers. A political subdivision may submit to the department a rate set, controlled, or regulated by the political subdivision for emergency services.”
