KBEMS
Update
From
Sherman
Hockenbury |
Sherman
re-capped the process in which KBEMS was placed under KCTCS
and how the hiring process of new employees worked. This was
done to dispel any rumors regarding this process. A new KBEMS
Attorney has been hired and approx 20 Executive Director
applications are currently under consideration. Sherman
assured everyone that the KBEMS Personnel committee was very
involved in the hiring process. Sherman also stated that the
KBEMS Personnel committee in conjunction with KCTCS would be
looking into the hiring of a Deputy Director soon. |

Legislative
Update |
Sherman
updated everyone on the Medicare Ambulance relief bill, which
is HR 2164 and SR 1310, these bills basically include a 5%
annual increase for 2008 and 2009. This bill was driven by the
release of the GAO study earlier in the year.
The OHS 10%
set aside for EMS sponsored by Hal Rogers still seems to be on
track. Also the Kentucky Medicaid fuel relief bill is still
sitting on the Governor’s desk. |
