A message from 
EMS Region III 
to EMS providers:


As we move rapidly toward mass vaccination for H1N1 flu across Eastern New Mexico, please consider assisting your local public health departments by volunteering your intermediates and paramedics to work in vaccination clinics in your area. Intermediates and Paramedics can be an invaluable asset during a mass vaccination if extra personnel are needed. Please help us get New Mexico ready for H1N1 by contacting your local public health department offices.

FY09 EMS Fund Act Monies - Carryover Requests
We are approaching the time of year during which the EMS Bureau receives carry-over requests for unspent Fund Act money. In the past, the EMS Bureau has granted near automatic approval for these requests. This will no longer be the case.The Fund Act Rule (7.27.4.11.O) allows budget adjustment requests to be made for several reasons:

When money has been encumbered on an item or items, but not yet actually paid out; To pay for a large item that a single year’s allocation is not enough for which to cover the cost; To change the priorities of spending or change the items requested on the original Fund Act application (this is usually not a carry over request, but requested during the fiscal year when priorities change); To permit services to “carry over” funds from one fiscal year appropriation to the next fiscal year. Other “good cause” reasons for budget adjustment; and/or wWhen money has been encumbered on an item or items, but not yet actually paid out.

New Statewide Ambulance Tariff Adopted
New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC)
On June 2, 2009 the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission issued a Final Order adopting a
new Statewide Ambulance Tariff based upon the Recommended Decision of the Hearing Examiner. Click here to view the Final Order for Case No. 08-00060-TR-R. This order is effective immediately. The current interim Statewide Ambulance rates, adopted on September 11, 2008 may be used until June 30, 2009. After June 30, 2009 you must adjust your rates to the new Statewide Ambulance Tariff. If your ambulance service is currently utilizing the Statewide Ambulance Tariff, please note you will be automatically switched and must abide by these new rates. Your service will remain on the Statewide Tariff unless the Commission receives an application requesting a new tariff, at which time the Commission will hold a hearing for a tariff change. If you are in need of further information regarding a tariff change, please call Larry Lujan, Division Director, at (505) 827-4505.
