The Escambia County Commission 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 January 20, 2014.

In January 2010, the Escambia County Commission awarded a contract to Atmore Ambulance  for an initial period of 36 months, that was  renewable for two additional 12 month periods for a total of 60 months. Escambia County (FL)  pays Atmore Ambulance $7,384.47 a month.

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.

A similar agreement is in place between Escambia County (FL) EMS and the Escambia County (AL) Healthcare Authority for Escambia EMS to provide ambulance service in the Flomaton area.  Escambia County (AL) pays Escambia County (FL) $7,873.39 a month for the ambulance service

Renewal of the agreement was recommended by Mike Weaver, Escambia County’s public safety director.

    Good to see service is renewed prior to the contract expiring. We have to keep everyone near town and far from town safe and we service. Good job Mr. Weaver.
