Title
Discussion of issues relating to an agreement amending the contract between the City of Deer Park and Emergicon LLC.
Body
Summary:
The City of Deer Park has an existing contract with Emergicon LLC for EMS Billing Services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission administers a program known as the Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program (ASPP). This agreement will provide additional scope of work in which Emergicon, and sub-contractor Public Consulting Group, Inc., will provide direct support for the City’s application and reporting requirements to enroll in the Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program.
Due to the additional financial reporting requirements of the ASPP program and the need for a specialized sub-contractor, Emergicon has offered to provide this service at a 12% commission rate.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
It is estimated that the net revenue increase (after commissions) will exceed $150,000 per year.
Recommended action
Discussion only during Workshop. A separate action item is on the City Council Agenda for consideration.
