911/1131/3588 EMS Funding Eligibility FY 08

[Guest guest]

The Office of EMS/Trauma Systems Coordination (OEMS/TS) is updating

the list of potentially eligible 911-providers for the FY 08 EMS

Allotments.

I have provided the list of EMS 911-providers we will use to

determine eligibility for FY 08 funding. You can find the list

(Excel)in the " Files " section of this Yahoo web page or copy and

paste the following: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/texasems-

l/files/

Please review the spreadsheet carefully for two things:

1) Is your EMS service listed as a provider in the counties

where you operate?

· If your EMS service is not listed in a county in which

you operate, please contact our office immediately (see contact info

below) so we may update the list.

2) Does our office have a contract on file for those counties,

outside your county of licensure, where you provide service?

· If you are a provider operating in a county other than

your county of licensure*, our office must have on file a copy of

the contract or letter of confirmation from that county. The

contracts that we have on file are indicated in the " Contract if

needed " column in the attached spreadsheet. If you only operate in

your county of licensure, we do not need a copy of the contract.

What the terms mean in the " Contract (if needed) " column on the

attached spreadsheet:

-An " n/a " indicates that we do not need a copy of a contract

because this is your county of licensure.

-A " yes " indicates that this county is not your county of licensure

and we DO have a copy of your contract or letter of confirmation in

that county.

-A " no " indicates that this county is not your county of licensure

and that we DO NOT have a copy of your contract with the county.

Therefore, you will not be considered as an eligible EMS provider in

that county, unless you provide us with a copy of the contract.

* Please Note: Rule 157.130 and 157.131 defines county of licensure

as the county which lies within the location of the mailing address

of a licensed ambulance provider, as indicated by the provider on

the application for licensure that it filed with the Department.

To update your EMS provider information on this list, please reply

to me at .reyes@... or call me at 512/834-6684.

If you need to update or add CONTRACT information, please fax the

contract to me at 512/834-6611. Provide me with your contact

information so I may confirm receipt with you.

Thank you,

Reyes
