RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning an Alabama Medicaid Provider Agreement for Escambia County Emergency Medical Services - Michael D. Weaver, Public Safety Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the electronic submission of the Provider Agreement and Provider Disclosure Form with the electronic signature of Michael D. Weaver as a condition for Escambia County Board of County Commissioners/Escambia County EMS (Emergency Medical Services) to continue to participate as a Provider under the Alabama Medicaid Program, with the provision that any litigation concerning any part of the Agreement shall be conducted in either the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, Northern Division.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County EMS (ECEMS) has been enrolled as a provider with the Alabama Medicaid Program since 2002. ECEMS received notification that it must submit a Provider Agreement to "re-enroll" in order to continue its participation as a provider under that program. The ability to participate in Alabama Medicaid is of benefit to certain patients transported by ECEMS as a result of the Interlocal Agreement for the Provision of Emergency Medical Services between Escambia County (Alabama) Healthcare Authority and Escambia County, Florida. The area covered by that Agreement is that porition of Escambia County, Alabama, described as Flomaton, Alabama.

It was required that the Provider Agreement be returned to Alabama Medicaid no later than January 31, 2018.
