Emergency Services Billing Rates - NPIs

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 <a href="https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/IN/htm/IN.38.htm" target="_blank"><u>Texas Insurance Code Chapter 38</u></a> via <a href="https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/html/SB02476F.htm" target="_blank"><u>Senate Bill 2476</u></a> 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.”

德克萨斯州保险部门（TDI）收集并报告由各政治区域上报的紧急服务提供者的计费率信息。国家提供者识别标准（NPI）是指覆盖的医疗机构所拥有的唯一十位数字识别号码。本数据集通过NPI将紧急服务提供者与它们运营的政治区域按年度和季度进行关联。对于每个在政治区域内运营的紧急服务提供者，均有一行记录。若某个政治区域内有多个提供者运营或提供者在多个区域运营，则将在多个行中列出。数据包括适用的年份和季度，以及政治区域提交报告的日期。德克萨斯州立法机构在第88次会期通过《德克萨斯州保险法第38章》的修正案——《参议院法案2476》，旨在增加与紧急医疗服务提供者有关医疗和保健计费保护的报告。政治区域可向部门提交由其设定、控制或监管的紧急服务费率。关于联系方式，请参考数据集：[紧急服务计费率 - 联系名单](https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-Contact-List/xgca-u3qh)。关于程序代码费率，请参考数据集：[紧急服务计费率 - 代码费率](https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-Code-Rates/ipyh-z9mx)。关于政治区域内的ZIP代码，请参考数据集：[紧急服务计费率 - ZIP代码](https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-ZIPs/iyci-uypg)。用户负责在提交截止日期前审查和更新数据。数据集中输入或发现的信息可能发生变化。更多信息请访问TDI的网站免责声明：[TDI网站免责声明](https://www.tdi.texas.gov/general/disclaim.html)。有关此数据的更多信息，请访问TDI的常见问题解答页面：[TDI常见问题解答页面](https://www.tdi.texas.gov/health/esbindex.html)。
