Mary gave the committee some background information on how the ambulance bills for
advanced life services: A paramedic from AMR must ride in the ambulance in these cases,
so the city bills $100 more, plus any drugs that AMR uses. Medicare requires that only the
transporting agency can do the billing. Of the $100, the city keeps $25 for administration,
and the remaining $75 plus drug charges should go to AMR However, AMR has never
signed an agreement for this arrangement. The city has gone ahead and billed the extra
charges, but hasn't paid AMR since March 1999. Mary explained that this is a potential
unhooked liability and asked for guidance. After discussion, she was instructed to book it.
Meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m. The next scheduled meeting is Friday, August 18th, at 6:00
p,m with Nathan Tubergen.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk-Treasurer
