Representative Amy Loudenbeck Receives Advocacy in Integrated Healthcare Award

According to an update from Representative Amy Loudenbeck, she has received the Advocacy in Integrated Healthcare Award from the Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration. This award recognizes a legislator or regulator who has made a significant impact on the integration of EMS, or the advancement of the integration of EMS into the healthcare system. The update states that Loudenbeck has an exemplary record of support for emergency medical services and fire departments, and has authored numerous mobile healthcare bills with bipartisan support that were signed into law by Governor Walker and Governor Evers. Most recently, Representative Loudenbeck championed legislation that directed the Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services to implement certified public expenditure and upper payment limit Medicaid match programs in Wisconsin. This legislation had the support of PAAW, the Wisconsin State Fire Chiefs Association, Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin EMS Association. Once instituted, these programs will infuse governmental, non-profit, and for-profit EMS providers of all types with millions of dollars in additional funding.
