Brightwaters approves roughly $29,787 payment for ambulance contract after billing changes reduced subsidy
Summary
Trustees approved a payment of $29,787.44 for the 2024 ambulance contract year, with the mayor noting that ambulance billing to insured patients recovered about $71,000 and reduced the village subsidy from the $100,000 cap.
The board discussed the village ambulance contract, which caps the village subsidy at $100,000 per year. The mayor reported that after the ambulance corps began billing insured patients three years ago, collections last year were about $71,000, leaving approximately $29,787.44 owed by the village for the 2024 contract year; the board voted to approve that payment.
"Our ambulance contract requires us to pay the ambulance for up to a $100,000 each year," the mayor said, adding that "Last year, they collected, 71 thou roughly $71,000. So out of the $100,000, we only owe them 29,000." Trustees expressed satisfaction that billing efforts have reduced village costs.
