FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 18, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR PAYMENT TO REVENUE OPTIMIZATION
SOLUTIONS, LLC
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval of payment to Revenue Optimization
Solutions, LLC for services rendered in reimbursement of funds under the
Texas Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Fire Department) for an amount
not to exceed $44,830.
BACKGROUND: The Fire Department and Fiscal Services utilizes Revenue Optimization
Solutions, LLC to consult and file paperwork necessary to be reimbursed
for funds available under the Texas Ambulance Services Supplemental
Payment Program.
The purpose of the Ambulance Supplemental Payment Cost Program is to
provide approved governmental ambulance providers with the opportunity
to receive supplemental payments if the governmental ambulance
provider's allowable costs exceed the revenues received during an
applicable service period. Governmental ambulance providers that are
eligible for supplemental payments must submit a complex annual cost
report to the Health and Human Services Commission, for ambulance
services that were provided to Medicaid clients. Revenue Optimization
Solutions develops and submits the cost report for reimbursement with
data provided by City staff.
As a result of the work done by Revenue Optimization Solutions, the City
received $448,292.25 last fiscal year in reimbursement for services
provided to Medicaid patients.
Staff recommends approval.
