MATRIX Data Submission Requirement Its this agency currently participating in the statewide data collection system?Yes Financial Narrative (REQUIRED) Weld County Paramedic Services (WCPS) is owned and operated by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County. The agency being an enterprise fund is solely responsible for its budget and financial well being within the County. The agency serves just under 4,000 square miles of North /Northeastern Colorado. Operating as an enterprise of Weld County Government since 1989, WCPS is required to bill and collect the operational costs of providing advanced life support treatment and transportation. The service area and customer base includes a population that is over 50% Medicare, Medicaid, and medically indigent. With the impact of the recent economic recession, the impact of the increasing indeigent and uninsured population due to unemployment, the ambulance service struggles with the Medicare /Medicaid fee schedules and associated collection rates. WCPS has experienced an unadjusted collection rate of approximately 30% over the last three years. WCPS has continued to strictly monitor the budget along with decreasing certain items, including the loss of staff postions. Efforts continue to improve overall effeciencies in our EPCR field data collection and electronic billing of the citizens and visitors we serve and to stabilize the revenues shortfalls being experience. The bad debt experienced in our accounts receivabless continues to grow as the demographics of our service area struggles to meet the challenges with the difficult sutuation. This uncollected debt adversely impacts our ability to maintain and purchase new equipment. Additionally our ability to maintain and improve our service delivery in the care of STEMI /Cardiac Arrest patients and trauma services draws from the same fundign source. WCPS has worked deligently over the years as an enterpise of county government to maintain a responsbile budget. With the increasing amount of bad dept and federal fee schedules; the strain being placed on the budget for replacement of vehicles and the purchase of captial equipment has increased substantially. The end result is a negative impact on our scheduled replacement of ambulance units. WCPS has had to lengthen the service life of our ambulances through a rechassis program until recently. WCPS experienced the unexpected loss of a unit while on scene of a traffic accident. This resulted in the loss of a vehicle before it scheduled replacement. This application is our way of meeting that unbudgeted need.
