Provides that a Physician Certification Statement, Certificate of Transportation Services, or Medical Certification for Non-Emergency Ambulance form is not necessary to establish subject matter jurisdiction for appeal or medical necessity on appeal but may be considered if available. Provides that all Department rules, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provisions of the amendatory Act shall not apply. Provides that nothing in the amendatory Act shall be construed to affect any rights, actions, or causes of action that accrued prior to the effective date of the amendatory Act, except that the non-necessity of a Physician Certification Statement, Certificate of Transportation Services, or Medical Certification for Non-Emergency Ambulance form as provided in the amendatory Act shall be retroactively applied to the full extent permissible."
