BACKGROUND: The City's ambulance services contract with American Medical Response Ambulance Services, Inc. (AMR) was approved by the City Council on June 20, 2006. AMR, at no direct cost to the City, has been providing basic and advanced life support ambulance transportation services to the City since October 1, 1983. AMR pays the City a Franchise Fee on a monthly basis. The amount of such fee is determined solely and at the absolute discretion of the City. The purpose of the fee is to offset the City's costs for activities associated with providing and maintaining programs associated with emergency medical services care at an ALS-level and oversight of the ambulance contract. The Regional Cooperative Care Program (RCCP) is a regional resource providing medical supervision, infection control services, quality assurance and quality improvement (QA/QI), and training to its member agencies. The Medical Director of RCCP also serves as the Medical Director for the NCFD. One of the staff members of RCCP serves as the official Infection Control Officer for the NCFD. In these roles, both the NCFD EMS Coordinator and the Department Safety Officer work closely with RCCP staff. RCCP is funded by assessments from member agencies based on a per call formula. AMR has the ability to directly bill individuals utilizing their services or bill appropriate third -party insurance carriers. AMR bills for ambulance service per transport, calls for service during which patient care meets transport criteria and mileage. AMR may increase fees and/or charges for services provided in order to fully realize revenues sufficient to make up the projected annual increase in Franchise Fees. AMR, at no cost to the City, also provides support and assistance in the development of a Fire/EMS Technology Program in conjunction with National City Fire Department and Sweetwater High School. AMR provides funding of up to $6,000 per year for uniforms, books and supplies, or to fund scholarships for students to attend EMT training at Southwestern College.
