Physicians, hospitals and ambulance services that provide emergency health services to
undocumented aliens should be aware that Section 1011 of The Medicare Prescription Drug
Improvement and Modernization Act provides $250 million each year, for Fiscal Years
2005-2008, for payments to eligible providers for emergency health services given to
undocumented and other specified aliens.  You may not be receiving funds that are
available to you for services you furnish to undocumented aliens.  The Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services have prepared a Special Edition article to inform and/or
remind you about these available funds.  Please click on the following url for more
