The increase that we are <br />recommending is based off the Medicare ambulance fees schedule that is published every year. It <br />shows a modest increase in the ambulance user fees. It allows our department to maximize the <br />amount of money that we get reimbursed by the federal government by insurance companies as <br />we provide ambulance services. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and <br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in opposition to <br />this bill, Councilmember Derek Dieter made a motion for favorable recommendation to full <br />Council concerning this bill.
