The Escambia County has renewed  a contract with Atmore Ambulance to provide emergency medical services for the portion of North Escambia in the 327 phone exchange.

Atmore Ambulance has been providing ambulance service for the Walnut Hill, Bratt, Davisville and surrounding communities in the 327 telephone exchange since 1978.

The county’s current contract with Atmore Ambulance was due to expire on February 3. The current annual contract is $75,000 per year, without an increase since February 2006. The new contract is for $85,000 per year for an initial period of 36 months, and it is renewable for two additional 12 month periods for a total of 60 months.

Under the terms of the contract, Atmore Ambulance directly bills patients for services rendered at an amount not greater than that billed by Escambia County EMS, which provides ambulance service for the rest of the county.

Renewal of the agreement was recommended by Management and Budget Services Bureau Chief Amy Lovoy.

Outside of the 327 phone exchange area, ambulance service is provided by Escambia County EMS.
