Fiscal Reporting Guides (FRGs) are financial and statistical data collected from all emergency medical services (EMS) agencies statewide. The data collected showed EMS rates needed to be increased 3.0% so agencies statewide will have closer revenues matching expenses. Rule R426-8 needs to be amended to reflect these ground ambulance transport rate changes. Rates should be made effective on 07/01/2019 to coincide with Medicaid payment adjustments for the fiscal year. Fiscal costs and benefits will begin starting in FY 2020.
