title
Approval of Administrative Policy 3.0 Finance - Section XI - Charity Care Services
request
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Since 2015, the City of Lewisville has participated in a program to help recover losses incurred by the City when the Fire Department transports Medicaid and uninsured patients by ambulance. The funds are available through the Texas Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program, (TASPP) which is a federal program administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. For the City to continue to recover any of the uncompensated care cost, the City must implement a charity care program as defined in the proposed policy.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the policy as set forth in the caption above.
