the General Assembly that the Department implement the payment
methodology known as "lower of" for emergency transportation
providers as assumed in this appropriation, pursuant to Section
26-4-404 (1) (b) (I) (A), Colorado Revised Statutes. In addition,
the Department is authorized to provide per-mile rate increases
for emergency transportation providers in the area of basic life
support and advanced life support to help ensure adequate access
to services. However, it is also the intent of the General Assembly
that the FY 1999-2000 combined impact to emergency transportation
providers of (1) the re-implementation of the "lower of"
payment methodology for emergency transportation providers and
(2) emergency transportation provider mileage rate enhancements
result in a net reduction of no greater than the $280,000 total
funds (including $139,720 General Fund and $140,280 federal funds)
contained in this appropriation. The authorized rate enhancement
for emergency transportation providers is thus limited to an
amount equal to the difference between the estimated savings from
the re-implementation of the "lower of" methodology
for such providers and the $280,000 reduction assumed in this
appropriation. The Department is requested to report to the Joint
Budget Committee on its actions to increase emergency transportation
provider rates no later than November 15, 1999.".
