Robert Hartman, Fulton County EMS/EMA Director -
Department Update |
Mr. Hartman brought a new employee, Jody
Tuckerman, and Cheri Schantz to the meeting this morning.
First on the update was billing. Mr. Hartman explained how the
billing started 100% on August 1 and the process involved.
LifeStar has been a big help in getting this set up and still
continues to assist. More information is available with our
software. Mr. Hartman presented a folder of samples for the
Commissioners to review. He expressed the hopes of what the
software can accomplish and that they are working towards some
of these goals - one step at a time. Electronic run reporting is
one of the first things they hope to get done.
Other plans for EMS: Additional LifePack 12's....looking at
putting these in all of the units and not just the ALS units as
they are now. These are a way to transmit information such as
EKG's directly in to the hospital from the units. 5 additional
units requested would cost about $18,000 apiece. A receiving
station would have to be placed in FCHC. Only paramedics can put
on the LifePack 11's and with the LifePack 12's even EMT's could
put them on.
Existing levy monies have been looked at as a possibility for
obtaining these units as well as income from the billing.
Commissioner Genter said that he believes that ALS money belongs
to ALS whether it is from the levy or the billing. Commissioner
Graf agreed and added that he believes they need to look at the
other side of the fence for buying equipment. He said the
purpose of the levy was for personnel and would be very hesitant
to use those monies for equipment. Commissioner Genter said that
he agrees. Commissioner Graf asked if they were paying LifeStar
for billing out of the ALS levy. Mr. Hartman said yes.
Commissioner Graf then asked if he was taking any of his
personnel salary costs out of that levy now that they are doing
the billing. Mr. Hartman said he didn't believe that they are.
Commissioner Graf said that really it should. Mr. Hartman agreed
and said they would look into that.
Mr. Hartman also questioned the monies reimbursed to departments
if we only receive a portion of the billing amount from
insurance. If a person has a deductible and is a resident of
Fulton County, they may only receive $150. Do they keep track of
these runs as ones that should be reimbursed at the end of the
year? He's looking for an amount to know which they should
track. Commissioner Graf said if the dollars amount to
non-collected runs, the monies should not go back to the
entities. Commissioner Barnaby said yes. Commissioner Genter
also agreed. Commissioner Graf said he did not believe the fund
should be depleted when we are not collecting. Commissioner
Genter suggested this could be handled as the contracts come
back up. |

Back in session |
Commissioner Graf filled in Mr. Hall and asked
when the contracts are up for renewal. Mr. Hall said December 31
of this year. He has had some discussion with the entities that
host the ALS units and received reports showing monies that
they've taken in. $185,900 was paid out just in the $100
reimbursements. Commissioner Graf said this is an issue that
needs to be fixed. Mr. Hall said that when he was doing it, if
the run was billed and regardless of how much was collected, the
$100 was paid. The language did not specify otherwise.
Mr. Hartman talked about tower maintenance. It has been cleaned
up and stone put in. All new ground and electronics were put in.
Commissioner Graf asked if the tower would have to be raised to
assure complete coverage. Mr. Hartman said he thought maybe new
receivers would work but some adjusting will have to be done to
improve the coverage. Some schools need to have antennas. We
need 100% coverage.The building there also needs some repair and
he has contacted a contractor to take care of that. Next year it
will be painted.
Mr. Hartman said that plans are being made to do some disaster
drills with the schools. Archbold has expressed an interest.
In conclusion, Mr. Hartman said that LEPC is looking to go over
a checklist form regarding hazardous materials or substances in
the county. There are 12 facilities in the county that this
would apply to. |
