E.M.S. 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 will be completed within the next four years. Accordingly,
agencies, similar to ours, are adjusting fees annually to be more in line with the anticipated
approved rates as we move toward final implementation.
The attached recommended rate adjustments are part of that process. As you will
recall, we made the first such adjustment last year. In recommending these changes, w e
considered and evaluated the rates charged by both public and private providers in the
immediate area.
We request that this item be placed on the December 10, 2002 Agenda with an
effective date of January 1, 2003, if approved by the City Commission.
