Re: Bar Harbor Billing Agro
As was discussed during the last budget session we currently are providing an ambulance
billing service N several surrounding providers. The curretrt providers we provide this
service for are Orono Fire Department, Cowhand BMS and Corinth Ambulance Service.
We also have an outstanding proposal to provide this service for Cminel Ambulance
Service, which has been approved by their Board of Directors but not returned to us.
Enclosed is an ambulance billing agreement signed by the Were of Bar Harbor for the Bre
department In provide this service for them. We are asking for approval to enter into ibis
agreernent with Bar Harbor. By providing ambulance billing services for the town of Bar
Harbor we would generate $9,60000 in revenue.
