Board approves modest EMS rate updates after review of regional averages
Summary
The board approved updates to ambulance billing rates proposed by the EMS director after comparing Fayetteville’s current charges with Central New York averages; the director said ALS-1 calls were currently billed at $2,000 and proposed adjustments to better align with regional norms.
Fayetteville’s EMS director presented proposed updates to ambulance billing via MultiMed comparisons and recommended modest rate increases to align with Central New York averages. In the meeting the director stated, “ALS 1, we charge $2,000 currently,” and compared that to a Central New York average cited at $2,300 as part of the justification for adjustments.
The board moved to approve the proposed rate schedule and to forward it to the mayor for signature and submission. The director also noted changes to mileage and new billable items for Medicaid/Medicare (discussed as treat-and-place billing) and recorded the updated figures that the village will submit as its new rates.
Staff will finalize the rate schedule for municipal records and update billing systems to reflect the approved changes.
