patient transport;</i></li><li> <i>The ground transportation of a person entitled to receive benefits or services under a health coverage plan (covered person) to an appropriate location other than a hospital, if the destination is a crisis stabilization unit and the patient meets clinically validated criteria</i> ;</li><li> <i>The examination and treatment of a covered person at the scene of a medical emergency or during transport from the scene of a medical emergency by an ambulance service or an agency.</i></li></ul></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The use of telemedicine when an insured person has encountered an ambulance service or agency to prevent the need to transport the person to an emergency department is included in the definition of 'emergency services', which services are required to be made available to insured persons 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill defines 'first responder' to
