Ambulance fund amended after higher patient collections; fund balance rises
Summary
Staff reported $103,005 in increased patient/insurance collections and other transfers in the ambulance fund, a reduced Medicaid subsidy and a projected ambulance fund balance of about $1,761,577; committee approved the reprogramming.
Staff (S8) reported an increase in ambulance patient collections and insurance receipts totaling $103,005.00 and explained a transfer to cover overtime and medical personnel lines. The Medicaid subsidy was reduced in staff projections, producing a net return to fund balance estimated at $36,174.
S8 gave the ambulance fund ending balance figure: “That'll bring the fund balance to in the ambulance fund, 1,761,577.” Committee members asked clarifying questions and moved to approve the transfers and reprogramming to keep the fund balanced. The motion was approved by voice vote.
Staff flagged that some reimbursements and matching-share revenues exist for rural calls, and that overtime and staffing decisions are driving near-term requests; members approved the reprogramming while noting the need to monitor overtime and program reimbursement.
