Summary
Fiscal Reporting Guides (FRGs) are financial and statistical data collected from all EMS agencies statewide. The data collected showed EMS Rates need to be increased at 5.50% so agencies statewide will have closer revenues matching expenses. Rule R426-8 needs to be amended to reflect these ground ambulance transport rate changes. Asset values were deleted since it is not used in current price setting methods. The profitability limit was revised to allow year-to-year deviations, and Medicaid transport numbers will be required to report in order to verify accurate assessment data.
