Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving the Williamson County EMS Financial Hardship Assistance Policy to be effective October 1, 2019.
Background
Williamson County EMS participates in the Texas Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program. Starting October 1, 2019, new rules will take effect that will require participating ambulance providers to have an approved financial hardship/charity care policy and process to screen accounts based on guidelines from Healthcare Financial Management Association. The policy that is presented meets these guidelines. Approval of this policy will allow Williamson County EMS to continue to participate in the Texas Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program. This policy will only be in effect as long as Williamson County EMS participates in the program.
