It seems to me that the easiest solution is to account for the number of responses from each city into the other and have a fixed rate for each call that the city that made the most responses get paid monthly by the other.

Given the high cost of health care,$550 seems reasonable for those patients outside the tax district.BringingChange said:
That wasn't at all what the CSFD brought forward last night. Even with their $550 requested reimbursement rate from the CoB per call, CoCS taxpayers will still foot a significant bill for ambulances leaving CoCS.
I agree with the one lone councilman who voted no. I believe we do need to go to mutual aid exclusively as the CoB made it very clear throughout their entire presentation that they are willing AND able to provide all the services needed to their citizens. CoCS needs to call their bluff.

Yep. All one has to do is listen to Broadcastify to hear how many calls for EMS are not necessary.Broncos said:

Would a fixed rate not take in account an average cost of the three items you mentioned. All three would be variable depending on the situation, but an average could be determined.Stupe said:That leaves out:woodiewood1 said:

There is a segment of our society that uses EMS as their primary healthcare.

Does sound awfully convenient.

What a condescending statement. There is also a segment of our society that uses another city's residential front or back yards for sewage disposal. Cheaper to use condescending sewage relief, I guess. Bryan is just a lower segment.

Why do the cities charge each other and not the persons who receive the service? Kind of like out if network insurance where you would pay more for the city you are not in providing the emergency service.

As well as - I've fallen and I can't get up issues.
Not really funny - but if someone falls in one of the assisted living or nursing homes - skilled or rehab, EMS is called to come help get them up.
Same is true, I believe for those push safe monitors - EMS is sent out to those.
