The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to increase the ambulance rate per loaded mile from $4 . 50 to $5. 00 was reviewed. In order to start a smooth transition for the new federally regulated fee schedule for ambulance services, the Fire Chief is requesting an increase in ambulance service rate per loaded mile from $4 . 50 to $5. 00. As part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, all ambulance supplies will be placed on a fee schedule, which will go into effect on January 1, 2001 . These changes will be phased in over a 3-year period, basing 20 percent of reimbursement on the new schedule in 2001, 50 percent in 2002, 70 percent in 2003 and 100 percent in 2004 . At this time, Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has not released the new rates for transport, but they have released what they intend to pay for loaded mile. As each change is made in the fee, Fire Rescue will not see a change in what HCFA will pay for six month because we must show a six-month history of billing all carriers, including Medicare, the same amount. The current amount of revenue generated through ambulance service is $65, 000. 00 per year. The revenue generated from ambulance service does not fully cover the city' s ambulance operations, with the city providing approximately $100, 000. 00 to cover ambulance operations . The city is obligated by law to write off some of the charges as participating providers tell the city what they will pay for the services . Moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek to approve the proposed increase in ambulance rate per loaded mile from $4 . 50 to $5. 00 and forward to full council for approval . Ayes : Two. Absent: Jordan. Motion carried.
