Title
An ordinance relating to the ambulance conveyance rates.

Sections
75-15-14-c-1 am
75-15-14-c-2 am

Analysis
This ordinance increases the amount charged for both Basic Life Support and Basic Life Support - Emergency ambulance conveyances for the 2 categories of patients established by the code, namely residents and non-residents. The increases are as follows:

1. For residents, from $357 to $370.
2. For non-residents, from $413 to $428.

Both of these new rates reflect a 3.6% increase, consistent with the 2002-2003 Milwaukee consumer price index for medical care.

In addition, this ordinance permits private ambulance companies to bill both residents and non-residents $544 for Advanced Life Support (ALS) conveyances when the conveyances are made under the terms of the Private Provider Interfacility Unit protocol.

Finally, this ordinance increases the amount charged for mileage. Mileage is defined as the distance traveled with the patient in the ambulance from point of origin to destination. The rate, for both residents and non-residents is increased from $8.50 per mile to $9.35 per mile. The new rate reflects a 10% increase, consistent with the 2002 - 2003 inflation of 0.1% to 15.1% in the transportation indices for transportation, private transportation, motor fuel and gasoline.
