Local Emergency Health Services Reimbursement Act of 2002

Summary

Local Emergency Health Services Reimbursement Act of 2002 - Amends the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to appropriate $200,000,000 for each of FY 2003 through 2007 for allotments to States for reimbursement of emergency health services furnished to undocumented aliens (presently such appropriations end after FY 2001). Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to use $134,000,000 of such amount to compute an allotment, according to a specified formula, for each of the 17 States with the highest number of undocumented aliens. Directs the Secretary to use $66,000,000 to compute an allotment for each of the six States with the highest number of undocumented alien apprehensions. Permits a State to receive funds on both accounts. Allows funds to go to States, local governments, hospitals, or other providers in a State, including providers of services received through an Indian Health Service facility (presently funds go only to States). Declares that this Act constitutes budget authority in advance of appropriations Acts.
