Potentially Eligible 911 Providers for FY 09 911/1131/3588 Funding

[Guest guest]

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

the list of potentially eligible 911-providers for the FY 09 EMS

Allotments.

Attached is the list of EMS 911-providers we will use to determine

eligibility for FY 09 funding. The file name is Initial List of

Potential Providers.xls. You can find the Excel file in the " Files "

section of this Yahoo web page (left-hand side) or copy and paste

the following link: 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 all counties in which you

operate, please contact our office immediately (see me 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 emergency

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 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 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 the attached 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.
