Background
The municipalities involved in the current Municipal Transport Agreement in Volusia County have collaborated with the County to update the arrangement.
The agreement includes three changes of significance:
• Improved clarification on how to add additional ambulances to the transport system.
• Extension of the required notice period for discontinuing participation in the Municipal Transport Agreement from 30 to 180 days.
• A reduction in the cost for the County to provide billing services from ten percent (10%) to seven and one-half percent (7.5%).
Additionally, attached is a business agreement referenced in paragraph 14 of the Municipal Transport Agreement. This agreement, unchanged since its original approval in 2019, allows for the sharing of protected health information in compliance with federal and state laws. Staff is requesting approval of the updated Municipal Transport Agreement and its associated business agreement.
