Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Milwaukee Fire Department (MFD) to amend an agreement with Managed Health Services Insurance Corp. (MHS) for community paramedic services through the Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) Program as it relates to MHS members.
Body
Whereas, The Milwaukee Fire Department has implemented the Mobile Integrated Health Program to be proactive in its delivery of medical services to the citizens of Milwaukee by scheduling medical visits to the City’s most at-risk population in an effort to reduce unnecessary 9-1-1 calls and BLS and ALS transports; and
Whereas, Community Paramedic professionals are trained in using the core modules from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Community Paramedic Curriculum; and
Whereas, The Milwaukee Fire Department will attempt to locate, enroll and engage MHS members into the MIH program; and
Whereas, The Milwaukee Fire Department and Managed Health Services Insurance Corp. previously entered into a Letter Agreement effective September 1,2017; and
Whereas, Milwaukee Fire Department and Managed Health Services Insurance Corp. wish to continue the services with modified terms and conditions; and
Whereas, The Milwaukee Fire Department will invoice MHS a total program cost not to exceed $1,800 per member without the approval of MHS; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the attached agreement between the City of Milwaukee Fire Department and Managed Health Services Insurance Corp. to continue community paramedic services to MHS members, or a version substantively similar, and subject to such changes as the City Attorney may approve in negotiation with MHS, is approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Fire Chief or designee is authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the City of Milwaukee.
