FROM:

SUBJECT: ADJUSTMENT OF EMS TRANSPORT FEES
We have been notified that the Inflation Index Charge (I.I.C.) for 1998, applicable to
Medicare services and fee schedules, will be a 2.1% increase. According to City of Delray Beach
Ordinance No. 5-95, Section 96.66, Emergency Medical Transport Fees, Sub-Section B:
"The City. Commission may adjust fees annually pursuant to the Inflation Index Charge (I.I.C.)
which is used by Medicare to determine the appropriate fee charges."
It is our recommendation that an increase be granted effective January 1, 1998. This will
allow us to keep up with the changes in Medicare allowances. I suggest we put this on the next
Commission Meeting agenda, if it meets with your approval. The following shows what percentage
charges would be for each charge:
PRESENT FEE 2.1% INCREASE TOTAL RECOMMEND
ALS $ 290.00 $ 6.09 $ 296.09 $ 296.00
BLS $ 215.00 $ 4.52 $ 219.52 $ 215.00'
Mileage $ 5.30 $ .II $ 5.41 $ 6.00*
* We are not requesting a change in the BLS rate as we are near the top range compared to other
EMS agencies. Our mileage recommendation coincides with the fee billed by other EMS agencies.
If you would like to move forward with this proposal I will do the appropriate paper work for
the Commission agenda.
