Cole County approves professional services contract with AP Triton for GEMT report
Summary
Commissioners approved a one-year professional services renewal with AP Triton to prepare the county’s ground emergency medical transport (GEMT) reimbursement report at a $7,500 fee plus 3% of gross GEMT return.
Cole County commissioners on Sept. 16 approved a one‑year professional services contract with AP Triton to prepare the county’s ground emergency medical transport (GEMT) reimbursement report.
The contract calls for a $7,500 preparation fee and a 3% fee on the gross GEMT return. Staff said AP Triton has prepared the county’s GEMT submissions since the county experienced problems with an earlier contractor; county officials told the commission that AP Triton has taken a conservative approach and the county has been owed additional money since contracting with them.
Why it matters: the GEMT program allows the county to recover federal dollars that offset Medicare-related costs for emergency medical transport. Staff described the report preparation as complex, involving financial and operational data, and recommended renewal to continue pursuing reimbursements.
Action taken: a commissioner moved to approve and sign the professional services contract; the commission approved the contract by voice vote. The transcript records “All in favor? Aye,” and no roll-call tally was recorded in the accessible minutes.
Ending: staff was directed to proceed so AP Triton can begin preparing the 2024–25 GEMT return under the renewed terms.
