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. is/LW
