r I �. l I I 1,i Ili Ili Ambulance Division 471-3411, extension 581 Durham County Hospital Corporation-3643 North Roxboro Street, Durham, North Carolina 27704 June 30, 1987 Bobby L. Baker, Director Orange Cbunty Emergency Services 106 East Margaret Lane Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Bobby, z apologize in the delay in responding to your request for convalescent ambulance coverage, but needed some information from my administrator, Mr. E.D. Powell. As you know, we too have been put in a bind by SAS' departure, but somehow have struggled through the initial crunch. We may be able to offer some assistance, but must request some special considerations prior to agreeing to your request. 1. Durham County requests for service must core first. There may occasionally be a delay in responding to a request in your county. 2. Since this will be somewhat different than a normal mutual aid request, we will need, to assume that we will be reimbursed for services rendered. Due to third party reimbursement constraints, an increased oast to respond Oin another area, and the potential for no reimbursement at all from the `1pe patient, we would require that Orange County reimburse us directly, then 0: `Vhf'" deal with the patient themselves. This is our current agreement with 1 Carol Woods in Orange County. 3. We only provide convalescent coverage from 0700 until 2300, seven days per week, so no coverage will be available from 2300 until 0700 the next morning. 4. This agreement would only apply to convalescent ambulance service, and no iii would participate in this type of request at all. R If. we can help you at all using these guidelines, please let me know at your earliest convenience, so we can work out details of request/dispatch, and orientation of my personnel. Sincerely, J.M. Tezai, Manager IXIIC Ambulance Division J'1':krp cc: E.D. Powell, r.R. Poole, M.W. Smith
