United States Fourth Circuit

In a dispute involving the scope of the 2007 Medicaid Amendments and whether ambulances services are emergency services within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 1396u such that defendant-service provider is prohibited from setting its own rates for the ambulance services, summary judgment in favor of defendant is reversed where: 1) the use of the term emergency services in section 1396u-2(b)(2)(D) is governed by the definition in section 1396u-2(b)(2)(B); and 2) the phrase "covered inpatient and outpatient services" encompasses ambulance services as used in section 1396u-2(b)(2)(B).
