Rod Cheney & Jake Manz- EMS/EMA Departmental Update

Mr. Cheney was present to update the Board on the events and progress over the last week in the EMS/EMA office. He stated that his first priority was getting to the heart of the billing issues so they can be complaint with the state.  He stated that he has been working with Lifestar regarding these issues and the forms needed to be compliant.  He presented an example of the forms now being used and further stated that this will again be brought up at the next Chief’s meeting.

 

He stated that as of Tuesday, their computer systems have been synchronized and has an expert in this field coming into make sure they are compliant.  He stated that there will be extensive training on the electronic run reports and he will be advising all that in the near future the handwritten reports will not be acceptable.

 

He stated that EMA State Liaison, Rich Lauffer, will be coming in to assist with issues relating to grants and other areas of need to help during this transition.

Commissioner Genter asked if the Assumption Tornado Siren was up and running properly.  Mr. Cheney stated that it is working and that a grant has been applied for to get a new one, which he believes to be approved.  Commissioner Genter expressed concerns regarding the timing of when the sirens are set off.  Mr. Cheney stated that there have been conversations with the Sheriff on this issue and further conversations are forthcoming.  He said that grant money has been received specifically for communications and can be applied toward radios and pagers for better communication in the event that the sirens are set off.

 

He stated that as far as the billing goes, there were 365 billed last week that can expect a return in the next couple of weeks, and 40 commercial billings took place.  Commissioner Genter asked how long it is expected to get the billing issues cleaned up.  Mr. Cheney stated that it is anticipated that it will take Lifestar approximately 2 months.  After that, he will need to assess the benefits of paying an outside agency to do the billing or hiring someone to do it in house.  Commissioners Barnaby and Genter both stated that they are in favor of keeping it in-house.  Commissioner Genter stated the benefits of keeping it in-house are better customer service.

 

Commissioner Barnaby stated that he would like for Mr. Cheney and Mr. Manz to continue to come before the Board with updates, either monthly or every couple of weeks.
