* §    367-s.    Emergency   medical   transportation   services.   1.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to  the  contrary,  a  supplemental
medical assistance payment shall be made on an annual basis to providers
of  emergency medical transportation services in an aggregate amount not
to exceed four million dollars for two thousand six, six million dollars
for two thousand seven, six million dollars for two thousand eight,  six
million  dollars for the period May first, two thousand fourteen through
March thirty-first,  two  thousand  fifteen,  and  six  million  dollars
annually  beginning  with  the  period April first, two thousand fifteen
through  March  thirty-first,  two  thousand  sixteen  pursuant  to  the
following methodology:
(a)  For  each emergency medical transportation services provider that
receives medical assistance reimbursement processed  through  the  state
Medicaid  payment  system,  the department of health shall determine the
ratio of such provider's state-processed reimbursement to the total such
reimbursement made during each quarter of the applicable calendar  year,
expressed as a percentage;
(b)  For  each  such provider, the department of health shall multiply
the percentage obtained pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision by
one-quarter of the applicable aggregate amount specified in the  opening
paragraph  of  this  subdivision.  The  result of such calculation shall
represent the "emergency  medical  transportation  service  supplemental
payment" and shall be paid expeditiously to such provider on a quarterly
basis;
2.  The  amount disbursed to emergency medical transportation services
providers whose area of operation is within the city of New York will be
twenty-five  percent  of  the  applicable  aggregate  amount,  with  the
remaining  seventy-five  percent  to be disbursed to all other emergency
medical transportation services providers.
3. If all necessary approvals under federal law and regulation are not
obtained to receive federal  financial  participation  in  the  payments
authorized by this section, payments under this section shall be made in
an  aggregate  amount not to exceed two million dollars for two thousand
six, three million dollars for two thousand seven, three million dollars
for two thousand eight, three million dollars for the period May  first,
two  thousand fourteen through March thirty-first, two thousand fifteen,
and three million dollars  annually  beginning  with  the  period  April
first,  two  thousand  fifteen  through March thirty-first, two thousand
sixteen. In such case, the multiplier set  forth  in  paragraph  (b)  of
subdivision  one  of  this  section  shall  be  deemed to be two million
dollars or three million dollars as applicable to the annual period.
4.  Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent  provisions  of  section  three
hundred  sixty-eight-a  of  this  title,  or  of  any  other law, to the
contrary, the department of health shall pay one hundred per  centum  of
the non-federal share of any payments made pursuant to this section.
