Transport Fees Emergency medical service transport fees covered by re-imbursement through Medicare are being "standardized" on a National basis. Total implementation of a National Ambulance Service Fee Schedule should be completed in 2006. Accordingly, we are recommending fee adjustments that are consistent with the Medicare "presumed" fee schedule and it is important that we keep our fees updated as we progress toward 2006. The attached recommended adjustments reflect the overall area average. We request that this item be placed on the September 6, 2005 agenda, with an effective date of October 1, 2005, if approved by the City Commission. \(~ r=s.~ ~ Kerry B.
