§300d–14 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

To get federal emergency medical payments each year, a State must send the part of its emergency medical services plan that covers trauma care to the Secretary. The State must include any changes to that trauma plan and any plans to fix problems. If the trauma plan is not finished, the State may send an interim plan or a short description of what it is doing to finish it. The State must also agree to give the Secretary, at least once each year, the required emergency care information it collects. The State must identify any rural areas that have no 911 phone access, no basic life‑support, or no advanced life‑support and send a list of those areas, or say there are none.
