The Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) code is a unique seven-digit identification number for postal delivery in the United States. This dataset relates political subdivisions and ZIP codes they contain by year. There is a row for each ZIP code within a political subdivision. Subdivisions containing more than one ZIP code or providers operating in more than one subdivision will be listed in multiple rows. The data includes the year the information applies to as well as the date the political subdivision submitted their report.\n\nThe Texas Legislature first authorized political subdivisions to submit rates for emergency medical services in 2023 under <a href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/html/SB02476F.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Senate Bill 2476</u></a>. In 2025, the Texas legislature extended the statute by passing <a href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/billtext/html/SB00916F.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Senate Bill 916</u></a>, which allows a political subdivision to annually adjust a rate submitted under <a href=\"https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/IN/htm/IN.38.htm#38.006\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Insurance Code section 38.006</u></a>, subject to certain limits.\n\n\u25ba For contact information, refer to dataset: \u202f<a href=\"https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-Contact-List/xgca-u3qh\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Emergency Services Billing Rates - Contact List</u></a>.\n \n\u25ba For procedure codes rates, refer to dataset:\u202f\u202f<a href=\"https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-Code-Rates/ipyh-z9mx\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Emergency Services Billing Rates - Code Rates</u></a>.\n\n\u25ba For National Provider Identifier Standard (NPI) information reported in each political subdivision, refer to dataset: <a href=\"https://data.texas.gov/dataset/Emergency-Services-Billing-Rates-NPIs/w2yx-y2ra\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Emergency Services Billing Rates - NPI</u></a>.\n\nInformation in this dataset is subject to change.
