Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 See below for a message sent by the State EMS Director. And FYI, enforcement began on January 1st, so this is already in effect. --- Provider number on ambulance Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:43:13 -0600 Reply-To: texasems-l To: <texasems-l > CC: <TexasEMSProviders > There have been several comments concerning the provider number being placed on the sides of the EMS vehicles. Here is the language in 157.11 that applies, please note the font size or color is not specified in rule so that will be left to the provider in order for the provider to keep with their color scheme. All EMS vehicles shall have the name of the provider and a current department issued EMS provider license number prominently displayed on both sides of the vehicle in at least 2 inch lettering. The license number should have the letters TX prior to the license number. This requirement does not apply to fixed wing aircraft. EMS vehicles are defined as: (36) Emergency medical services vehicle- (A) basic life support vehicle; ( advanced life support vehicle; © mobile intensive care unit (MICU); (D) MICU rotor wing and MICU fixed wing air medical vehicles; or (E) specialized emergency medical service vehicle. This rule does not apply to aircraft nor does it apply to any vehicle that is not defined as an EMS vehicle. It is my understanding the EMS committee has 157.11 on their agenda, but it not the intent of the department to postpone the enforcement of this rule which will begin January 1, 2009.
