Escambia (FL) EMS To Continue Service To Flomaton

November 6, 2014

Escambia County (FL) has renewed an agreement with an Alabama agency to provide ambulance service for the Flomaton area.

Since 1981, Escambia County (FL) EMS has provided ambulance service to the Flomaton area through an interlocal agreement with the Escambia County (AL) Healthcare Authority. A three year agreement approved in 2010 expired in 2013 and was renewable to two additional  one year periods.

Escambia County (AL) Healthcare Authority pays Escambia County EMS  for the ambulance service, while Escambia County (FL) EMS then bills patients for services rendered.

A similar agreement is in place between Escambia County (FL) and the privately owned Atmore Ambulance service. Atmore Ambulance provides emergency medical services in the Walnut Hill and Bratt areas. Escambia County (FL)  pays Atmore Ambulance a monthly fee, and Atmore Ambulance also 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.The agreement has been in place since 1978.
